Shodapur
Shodapur is a village in Panipat district of the Haryana state in India.
The Second Battle of Panipat was fought on 5 November 1556 between the forces of Akbar and Hemu, a Hindu king of Delhi. 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.
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. Plans to repair the shrine began in 2019.
