Babur spent the first eleven years and a quarter of his life at Farghānā while his father was busy extending the frontiers of his small principality. He learnt his mother-tongue, Turki, as well as Persian and also practised archery and horse riding. His father died in A.D. 1494 in the fort of Akshi due to the collapse of a pigeon house where he was feeding his pigeons.
