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.
