Lodhi Fort Tourism

Lodhi Fort, also known as Lodhi Qila, is an impressive historical monument located in Ludhiana, Punjab, India. It was built by Sikander Lodhi around 500 years ago when Ludhiana was known as 'Lodhiana', meaning the town of the Lodhi dynasty. While in ruins now, the fort once stood as a symbol of the grandeur of the Lodhi dynasty. It served as a military fortress and a place of governance over the region. Despite being in a state of neglect, the fort is an important part of Ludhiana's cultural heritage, offering insights into the region's past. The remains of the fort are spread over a large area and include crumbling walls and bastions. This monument has witnessed the passage of time and various historical events but stands as a testament to the past. Lodhi Fort is situated by the banks of the Sutlej river, and now attracts visitors including historians, archaeologists, and tourists who come to explore its bygone era.
