Bibi Ka Maqbara: Shah
Jahan built the Taj Mahal, in Agra, in loving memory of his wife Mumtaz. His
son Aurangzeb, who overthrew him, built the Bibi-Ka-Maqbara as a mausoleum
to his wife Rabia-ud-Durrani. This is the monument for which Aurangabad is
best known, probably because it was obviously intended to rival the Taj Mahal,
which it imitates.
