Babur is at the centre of most scenes shown. As far as is known, no contemporary images of him survive, but from whatever sources they had Akbar's artists devised a fairly consistent representation of him, "with a roundish face and droopy moustache", wearing a Central Asian style of turban and a short-sleeved coat over a robe with long sleeves.

This is a simplified family tree of the Timurid dynasty. The Timurid dynasty was a ruling house descended from the Central Asian conqueror Timur , who founded the Timurid Empire in 1370. At its peak, the empire encompassed Iran and much of Central Asia, as well as portions of modern-day India , Pakistan , Syria and Turkey .
As descendants of Timur, they are also members of the Timurid dynasty, and therefore were connected to other royal families in the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Far East. As such, the Mughal Empire was descended from two powerful dynasties. Babur was also directly descended from Genghis Khan through his son Chagatai Khan.
