Yes there is a significance of the first battle of panipat to indias culture and tradition . As the first battle was fought between Ibrahim lodhi of delhi sultanate's and Babur of the mughal empire yes it established the mughal power in india . Till then the mughals ruled the india for more than 400 years and then panipat was founded a great centre for mughals. Due to the first battle panipat was founded and babar laid the foundation . This is the reason when panipat was led 2 more battles in the past.
The political significance of this battle was all the more far-reaching, for it shattered the military power of Himu on the one hand and put an end to the Afghan pretensions to sovereignty in Hindustan forever.
The victors occupied Delhi on the day of victory. Agra was also captured soon after.
Himu’s aged father was taken prisoner and put to death on his refusal to embrace Islam. Attempt to capture Himu’s widow, however, failed.
Sikandar Sur Afghan, pretender to the Delhi throne, was compelled to surrender in May, 1557, and was assigned a jagir in Bihar only to be expelled there from soon after. Muhammad Adil, another Afghan pretender, was killed in 1557. The third pretender Ibrahim had to flee and take refuge in Orissa.
Within two years of the second battle of Panipat there remained no other claimant to the throne of Delhi and Akbar’s sovereignty over Delhi was confirmed.
