History

This historical site was once referred to in Mahabharata, as 'Dharmkshetra'. The three historical battles of Panipat that changed the course of India were fought here - be it the first one, which announced the arrival of Mughals, or the second one, which saw the rise of Akbar, and the final one, which witnessed the decline of the once powerful Maratha, Panipat has seen it all. This is one of the rare archaeological sites which has so much to offer but is yet to be explored completely. The city of Panipat houses some of the rare witnesses of history, enshrined by time but forgotten by the masses. Among them, leading the front is the tomb of Saint Bu Ali Shah Qalandar of the Sufi Chishti order, who was once an influential Sufi saint during the times of the Delhi Sultanate. Also, ideal for visit is the Old Fort, which houses some of the rare moments of history, which stretch from the times of Babur to the time of Hemu, who could have restored the glory of the Vedic civilizations, had the Second Battle of Panipat not cut his life short.

Restaurants and Local Food in Panipat

Panipat has a number of good restaurants which offer Indian, Chinese and Continental cuisines. While in Panipat, one must indulge in local Haryanvi as well as Punjabi delicacies.

Suggested Itinerary for Panipat

Day 1 - Reach Panipat by morning. After taking some rest, freshen up and go straight for the Panipat Museum, which houses glimpses of the historic events that occurred in Panipat. Since the visit might prove to be a bit taxing, you can freshen up by shopping at some famous markets in Panipat, for e.g. the Palika Bazar, which is a 14-minute drive from the Museum.
Day 2 - The next day, you should start with a visit to the Purana Quila [Old Fort], which houses some of the rare moments of history, enshrined by time, from the medieval India. Although poorly maintained, the evidence of the glorious history of India is still available. Barely 300 m. away is the famous tomb of Sufi Saint Bu Ali Shah Qalandar, which is quite famous, yet largely unexplored by many. Another site worth a visit is the Kabuli Bagh Masjid, built by Mughal Emperor Babur in commemoration of his victory over Ibrahim Lodhi. By the time you have returned from Panipat, you will have learned a lot of history, that was left untold.
