Dinpanah & Shergarh : Sixth City of Delhi (1538-1545)

​

In 1540, a sway of imperial power saw Babur's son Humayun getting defeated by Sher Shah Suri. Sher Shah established another capital city of Delhi. The City, known as Shergarh, was built on the ruins of Dinpanah that Humayun had set up. The remains of Shergarh is what you see today at Purana Qila. Once Humayun came back to power, he completed the construction and proceeded to rule from Shergarh
