Originally an Uzbek, Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur was born on February 14, 1483 in the city of Andijan, which is now located in Uzbekistan.
Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur, known in history as the founder and first ruler of the Great Turko-Indian State, died on December 26, 1530 in Agra, India at the age of 47. He was first buried in the city of Agra, and later, in 1539, according to Babur's own will, his grave was moved to the Babur gardens located in the city of Kabul (now the capital of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan). In 1646, his successor, Sultan Jahan Shah, built a tomb over Babur's grave.
