Bibi ka Maqbara

Back Home

Located in: Aurangabad (Maharashtra)

Bibi Ka Maqbara was built in 1678 by "Azam Shah". This monument is son's loving tribute to his mother "Begum Rabia Durrani". She was the Queen of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The monument on white marble rises majestically in an intentional bid to copy and rival the world famous Taj Mahal of Agra. The Maqbara is standing spectacularly on the green lawns of the landscaped garden with ponds, fountains and water channels. The central tomb of this maqbara, seperated by elaborate surface ornamentation and intricately perforated marble screens, is framed by four towering minarets.
