The Bibi Ka Maqbara is located in the city of Aurangabad, in the Deccan region of India. It was built between 1651 and 1661 by Prince Azam Shah, the son of Aurangzeb, in honor of his mother, Dilras Banu Begum. The tomb is a unique example of the architecture from Aurangzeb’s reign and, while lacking the opulence of the Taj Mahal, features the same dome shape and surrounding minarets.
