Babur's Ideas About The Phenomenon Of The Holiday
Abstract
This article examines Babur’s perception of the phenomenon of festivity based on an analysis of his memoir “Baburnama.” The holiday is studied as a cultural, social, and symbolic phenomenon reflecting the ruler’s worldview and the characteristics of his era. The research employs historical-literary and cultural analysis. The findings show that in Babur’s interpretation, the feast functions not only as a form of celebration but also as a means of political legitimation, social cohesion, and aesthetic expression. The study concludes that festivity occupies a multifunctional position within Babur’s system of values.
