c16.s1.1

In its heyday the Lodī empire extended from the Indus in the west to the bend of the Ganga in Bihar in the east. In the north it went up to the sub-montane belt of the Himalayās and in the south its boundary ran along a zigzag west-to-east line including Nagor, Mandrael, Narwar, Chanderi, Chunār and Khalgaon. Even when the empire was not so extensive, or conditions so favourable, the Saiyyad and Lodī Sultans, following the traditions of old, gave attention to art and letters, and constructional work went on throughout the one and a quarter century of their rule.
