Babur had nothing to do with either the demolition of the temple or construction of the mosque



विष्णोः पादमवन्तिका गुणवती मध्ये  च काञ्चीपुरी
नाभौ  द्वारवतीं  पठन्ति   हृदये  मायापुरीं योगिनः।।
ग्रीवामूलमुदाहरन्ति     मथुरां     नासाग्रवाराणसी-
मेतद्  ब्रह्मपदं  वदन्ति  मुनयोऽयोध्यापुरीं  मस्तकम्।।

Virtuous Avantika i.e. Ujjaina is the foot of Vishnu and Kanchipuri is His waist. Yogis consider Dvaraka His navel and Haridvara His heart. Mathura is considered His neck and Varanasi the tip of His nose. Ayodhya is the head of Vishnu. Sages call all these the limbs of Vishnu.
