‘Kabuli Bagh Mosque’ of Panipat was constructed by which Mughal ruler?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is  option 2  i.e. Babur .

The Kabuli Bagh Mosque was built by Babur in 1527 after his historic victory over Ibrahim Lodi in the First Battle of Panipat (1526), which marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire in India. The mosque was named after Babur’s wife, Kabuli Begum. It is one of the earliest examples of Mughal architecture in India, showcasing elements of both Persian and Indian design styles. The mosque not only served as a place of worship but also stood as a symbol of Babur's conquest and consolidation of power in the subcontinent. It remains a significant historical and architectural site today. 

Other Options:

  • Jahangir: Babur’s grandson, ruled later and not associated with this mosque.

  • Humayun: Babur’s son, ruled after Babur.

  • Akbar: Babur’s grandson, famous Mughal ruler but not the builder of Kabuli Bagh Mosque.
