The name "Great Mughals" appeared already under the British colonialists, neither the founder of the Empire, nor his descendants called themselves so. The term "mogul" was used by the population in India to refer to all Muslims in North India and Central Asia.
Appearance - typical R1a Caucasoids.
This is the founder of the Mughal empire - Akbar the Great (1556-1605), the son of Humayun and the grandson of the famous Babur.

More engravings.
As we see, in all the engravings neither the supreme ruler of Hindustan - the Great Mogul, nor his ministers, nor the Brahmins, nor the judges, nor even the executors of the sentence have anything in their appearance either Mongolian or Indian, or Arabic (Semitic). These are people of the white race.

Aurangzeb or Alamgir I, the Great Mogul.
Akbar the Great, grandson of the founder of the Mughal dynasty in India, Babur (I have already considered him above). Remove the turban, and you get a typical Russian Cossack.
And this is what the vizier of the Mughal Empire, Shuja ad-Daula Haidar (1732-1775) looked like. Agree, something similar to a wealthy gentleman from Little Russia.
The last Great Mogul - Bahadur Shah II (1775-1862) was also white. Note that, judging by these images, the Mughal elite took the purity of blood seriously - the features of the white race were clearly preserved from the first to the last ruler.
