Geography & terrain

Panipat lies in the Panipat district of Haryana, 90 km from Delhi and 120 km from Chandigarh — the battlefield city of the region, its three-battle history, the museums and the textile life set on the Yamuna's plain.

History & culture

The city's story runs with the three great battles — the 1526 Babur-Ibrahim Lodi battle and the 1556 Hemu-Akbar battle and the 1761 Abdali-Maratha battle, with the city's modern role as the heritage stop of the Haryana circuit and the home of the Panipat museum and the Ibrahim Lodi's tomb; the city's history of the 1990s textile growth and the 1857-era monuments, gives Panipat its battlefield character.
