Rabia-ud-Daurani’s Tomb or Bibi ka Maqbara, mid 17th Cen CE, Auranagabad (Maharashtra)
Built by Mughal king Aurangzeb for his wife. Set within an impressive char bagh within an enclosure, the tomb sit in the middle of the garden.
Owing to its architecture, it is often considered heavily influenced by the Taj Mahal. The comparison to the Taj Mahal has often obscured its very own considerable charm. Due to the strong resemblance, it is also called the Dakkhani Taj (Taj of the Deccan).
