Bibi Ka Maqbara The Bibi Ka Maqbara (English:"Tomb of the Lady")[2] is a tomb located in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's son Azam Shah in the memory of his mother (posthumously known as Rabia-ud-Daurani).[3][4][5][6][7][8] It bears a striking resemblance to the famous Taj Mahal,[7] the mausoleum of wife of Shah Jahan.
