Travel Info Which tomb is an imitation of the Taj Mahal? Travel Tips Tomb of the Emperor Aurangzeb at Khuldabad. He left few buildings, save for a modest mausoleum for his first wife, Bibi Ka Maqbara, sometimes called the mini-Taj Mahal, in Aurangabad. More information on the Emperor and his legacy at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aurangzeb#l... Others Humayun's Tomb for great emperrorr Shajahan and his beautiful Mumtaz i went there once in TAH MAHAL Bibi ka Maqbara built near Aurangabad is a replica of Taj Mahal Bibi Ka Maqbara was built by Prince Azam Shah, son of Emperor Aurangzeb, in the late 17th century as a loving tribute to his mother, Dilras Bano Begam.

Built way back in 1679 by Emperor Aurangzeb's son as a tribute to his mother, Rabia Durani, Bibi Ka Makbara is an exact replica of India's famous tourist attraction, the Taj Mahal. The monument's name translates literally to 'Tomb of the Lady',but has earned the nickname 'poor man鈥檚 Taj' because of its resemblance to the Taj Mahal. It is situated in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Bibi Ka Makbara has a central dome, surrounded by four smaller domes and four minarets. Four taller minarets surround this central structure. It is called the Poor Man's Taj Mahal because it is not entirely built of marble but also of limestone. To my untrained eyes, it seemed that it was entirely built of marble. Both the famous Taj Mahal in Agra in north-central India, and the lesser-known Bibi Ka Makbara, are monuments of love. |
