Baby Taj Mahal - Tomb of The Lady
This structure known as Bibi Ka Maqbara is a replica of the famous Taj Mahal. It is nicknamed as Poor Man's Taj Mahal because unlike the original which is made entirely of white marble, it is made of sand stone, except for its dome which is of white marble. Being smaller in size it is also known as Mini Taj Mahal.
Located in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India it was built in 1660 by Prince Azam Shah, grand son of Emperor Shahjahan, who had built the marvellous Taj Mahal.
The Tomb is in memory of Dilrus Bano Bagum, wife of Emperor Aurangzeb and mother of Azam Shah. Surprisingly the tomb is not very well known although Aurangabad is a famous tourist place because of Ajanta and Ellora Caves.
