Sikander Lodhi

Sikander Lodi (1489-1517 AD)

Sikander Lodi was the son of Sultan Bahlul Khan Lodi and Bibi Ambha, the daughter of a Hindu goldsmith of Sirhind.

Sikander proved to be a capable ruler who was kind to his Muslim subjects, but was extremely harsh to his Hindu subjects. He expanded Lodi territory into the regions of Gwalior and Bihar. He made a treaty with Alsuddin Husain Shah and his kingdom of Bengal. He was able to bring his native Afghan nobles under his control, and encouraged trade across his holdings. In 1503, he commissioned the building of the present-day city of Agra. He died in 1517 and has an elaborate burial tomb that resides in Lodi Garden, Delhi

  • Bahlul was succeeded by Sikander Shah, the best ruler of the Lodi Dynasty.
  • In 1504 AD, Agra was established with the purpose of securing his authority over the rulers of Rajasthan and establishing control over trade routes. He built the Fort of Badalgarh there. Agra became the capital of the Lodi Empire in 1506 AD.
