The Kabuli Bagh Masjid, a remarkable 500-year-old mosque located in Panipat, Haryana, India, was constructed by Mughal emperor Babur to honor his victory over Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi in the First Battle of Panipat in 1526. Although prayers have not been conducted there for decades, the mosque continues to be a symbol of historical significance, attracting visitors who reflect on its legacy. Ram Mohan Rai, a public historian, emphasizes the mosque's role in preserving the memory of a battle that altered India's history. Visitors like Faizan Khan, an 18-year-old, frequently come to admire the structure and share its history, while others, such as Hazi Kalimudin, express disappointment over the mosque's closure for prayers. Concerns about maintenance and cleanliness have been raised, with some locals noting improvements in security measures, including barbed wires and CCTV. Despite these advancements, there remains a call for enhanced preservation efforts. The mosque not only commemorates Babur's victory but also serves as a reminder of Panipat's rich Islamic heritage, which includes historical figures like Bu Ali Shah Kalandar. The significance of the Kabuli Bagh Masjid and its connection to the Ibrahim Lodhi Tomb highlights the enduring legacy of the First Battle of Panipat.
