  Bibi Ka Maqbara (Maharashtra , Aurangabad)

Bibi Ka Maqbara Bibi Ka Maqbara is the tomb of Begum Rabia Durani, wife of Emperor Aurangazeb. The monument is an excellent example of Persian Architecture. The arched aclove surmounted by a swelling dome, the idea had acquired its own reputation in India. Bibi Ka Maqbara is considered to be a poor imitation of Taj Mahal in Agra. The Layout and surrounding of the tomb is very much similar to that of Taj but some how thearchitecture fails to produce the magic of Taj. Nevertheless, the monument has its own charm and has been attracting tourist far & wide. the MTDC organises a fair every October as the Bibi Ka Maqbara festival.
