Explanation

The Mughal Empire was the dominant power in Delhi from 1526 (when Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat) until 1857 (after the Sepoy Mutiny when the British Crown formally took control). While there was a brief interruption (1540-1555) when Sher Shah Suri's Sur dynasty ruled, the Mughals controlled Delhi for the vast majority of this 331-year period, making them the primary rulers of the era.
