Babur, the first Mughal Emperor, desired to be buried in his favorite garden in Kabul. Although he died in Agra in 1530 and was temporarily interred there, his Afghan wife, Bibi Mubarika, honored his wish years later. His body was exhumed and carried to Kabul, where he was finally laid to rest in the tranquil, terraced garden he had designed, the Bagh-e Babur. This move symbolized his deep connection to his Central Asian homeland.
