Summary[edit]

Description
English: The second octagonal tomb in Lodhi Garden is built over the grave of Sikandar Lodhi situated inside Lodhi Garden in New Delhi, India. Mohammed Shah’s (the last Sayyid dynasty ruler) tomb was one of the earliest ones to be built in the Lodi Gardens as Ala-ud-din Alam Shah built it in 1444, to pay tribute to the king. The tomb of Sikander Lodi was built in 1517, by Ibrahim Lodi, Sikander Lodi’s son and the Sultan of Delhi of the Lodi Dynasty. Ibrahim Lodi’s defeat to Babur in 1526, in the First battle of Panipat laid the foundation for the Mughal Empire. The garden then underwent many renovations and improvements under different Mughal emperors, depending on the purpose they used it for. The fact that not much architectural work survives at present from the Sayyid and Lodi dynasties increases the historical importance of the Lodi Gardens along with its need for preservation.
