  1. Ibn battuta.
    A _______ of both time and space, to be where I have been: These are the lyrics of the song " kashmir " by the band Led Zeppelin and the blank corresponds to "traveller".
    125033 : This is the pin code of Hansi city in Haryana.
    200 years later Babur followed the path of Ibn Battuta.
    Calico is a textile originally from the city of Kozhikode.
    Kollam is a city in Kerala .
    Malé is the capital and most populous city in the Republic of Maldives.
    All cities Hansi, Kozhikode , Kollam and Malé were visited by Ibn Battuta during his travelling years.

    The connect is Ibn Battuta.

    The emperor in the image is Muhammad bin Tughlaq, although some reverse searches returned Babur, the identification is immaterial. The pincode corresponds to Hansi, gun to Calicut, the beach is in Kollam (Quilon), and the satellite image is that of the archipelago nation of Maldives, some of the places that Ibn Battuta visited before setting out to Ceylon and China.

    Muhammad bin Tughlaq was the Sultan of Delhi at that time, and Battuta during this time was his emissary/advisor.
