Shodapur is a village in Panipat district of the Haryana state in India. [1] The Second Battle of Panipat was fought on 5 November 1556 between the forces of Akbar and Hemu, a Hindu king of Delhi.[2][3] In the battle, a wounded Hemu was captured by Shah Quli Khan and carried to the Mughal camp at Shodapur on Jind Road at Panipat where he was beheaded.[4]
After a few years, Hemu's supporters, constructed a Samadhi (Hindu shrine) over the place where he was beheaded. This is the only memorial of Hemu in Panipat but it is in a bad condition,but plans for repair began in 2019.[5]
