Babur defeated the Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodi, at Panipat in 1526 and captured Delhi and Agra.

The First Battle of Panipat was a decisive victory for Babur, and it marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire in India. Babur's victory was due to a number of factors, including his superior military tactics, his use of gunpowder firearms, and the treachery of Ibrahim Lodi's own nobles.

The Battle of Panipat had a profound impact on the history of India. It marked the end of the Delhi Sultanate and the beginning of a new era of Mughal rule. The Mughal Empire would go on to rule India for over two centuries, and it would leave a lasting legacy on the country's culture, architecture, and political system.
