Akbar is not just the greatest among all the Mughals, but also one of the greatest the world has seen. How did he come to know as such a great ruler?
Firstly, Akbar was known to be great, because he took care of his people well. Before him, most rulers cared only about themselves and kept collecting taxes more and more.
Babur had just ascended the throne of Fergana in eastern Uzbekistan. However, his uncle plotted to take away the throne from him. He waged a war against Babur which ultimately Babur lost. He was then exiled to Afghanistan. There Babur managed to find some followers.
Along with them, he then started to figure out ways to capture his throne back.
Babur then came across an opportunity that was even better than his throne.

Reginald Heber, who visited the site in 1824, mentioned that the water of the #GyanVapi — brought by a subterraneous channel of the Ganges — was considered holier than the Ganges itself by the Hindus.
