A major tourist attraction in India but less attracted to tourist because it is low maintained. You will find trash around this place, no proper parking space or any management to take care of this prime spot. Though! Will love to see it in future again with better surrounding.

A great place to visit for History enthusiastic people. You can also visit their for fun. A great scenery and a nice environment. Pleasing atmosphere. Staff is also nice to visitors. Clean monument

Its beautiful architect and nice historical place. Must visit place in Aurangabad.

The Bibi Ka Maqbara (English: Tomb of the Lady[1][2]) is a tomb located in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India. It was commissioned in 1660 by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the memory of his first and chief wife Dilras Banu Begum (posthumously known as Rabia-ud-Daurani) and is considered to be a symbol of Aurangzebs conjugal fidelity.[3][4][5] It bears a striking resemblance to the Taj Mahal, the mausoleum of Aurangzebs mother, Mumtaz Mahal.[6] Aurangzeb was not much interested in architecture though he had commissioned the small, but elegant, Pearl Mosque at Delhi. Bibi Ka Maqbara is the second largest structure that Aurangzeb has built, the largest being the Badshahi Mosque.[7]The comparison to the Taj Mahal has often obscured its very own considerable charm.[8] Due to the strong resemblance, it is also called the Dakkhani Taj (Taj of the Deccan).[9] Bibi Ka Maqbara is the principal monument of Aurangabad and its historic city.[10][11] An inscription found on the main entrance door mentions that this mausoleum was designed and erected by Ata-ullah, an architect and Hanspat Rai, an engineer respectively.[9] Ata-ullah was the son of Ustad Ahmad Lahauri, the principal designer of the Taj Mahal.[12] Aurangzebs son, Muhammad Azam Shah was in later years put in charge of overseeing the repair-work of the mausoleum by Shah Jahan.

Nice place to visit..... Nice view but avoid going on weekends to avoid crowd..for good experience visit on weekdays..but nothing like taj mahal..

Bibi Ka Maqbara - Taj Of The DeccanTomb has a striking resemblance to Taj Mahal and so it is called Dakkhani Taj or the Taj of the Deccan. Built in 1660 the Tomb of Rabia Durani or Bibi Ka Maqbara was erected by Azam Shah, the son of Aurangzeb to commemorate his mother Dilras Begum who was titled Rabia Durani post her death.

The Bibi Ka Maqbara is a tomb located in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India.It looks strikingly like the Taj Mahal and known as Taj of Deccan. Surrounded by a colourful garden, trees, and colourful rose bushes and seasonal flowers.Spacious complex. Crowdy during weekends and holidays.

Beautiful place in AURANGABAD,One can surprise amazingly by watching this beautiful monuments.Some times call it as Taj Mahal of Maharashtra. They maintained it very carefully. Garden is very beautiful out side maqbara. Due to covid pandemic it is closed for tourists.

He is place beautiful

Very beautifulBut more then half of the things are closed cannot see the whole place properly

THIS PLACE IS VERY NICE 😌THIS IS MUGHAL SALTANAT EMPIRE ON BIBI KA MAQBARA 🔥🔥BEST HISTORIC PLACE IN AURANGABAD MAHARASHTRA 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good place to visit with family, resemble same as taj mahal. Everything is properly maintained and looks clean

Nice legendary place

It is great place to visit. An excellent architectural model. Green and clean place. Easy to visit, stay and travel...🤗

Biwi ka Maqbara is also known as Tomb of Rabia Durani. It is a replica of Tajmahal. If you are in Aurangabad, you must visit this place. You can buy tickets online or directly buy from the site. You can easily spend 30-40 minutes here and do photography. Overall a very good place to visit, if you are in Aurangabad.

This place is very niceThis is a mughal saltanat empire on bibi ka makbra

Replica of Taj mahal. Okok place to visit. Very crowded in the evenings. The garden outside is not maintained. The fountains inside were closed. The back side was under repair i believe.

Have gone 2 times so far and opening closing time keep changing. Latest info is 7.30 am to 3.30 pm on Mon to Fri ONLY. CLOSED on weekend, both days. Please plan your trip, all the best! Hopefully you will get it open for you.

An I am Indian and atleast Indians should give five Stars. But as per my recent experience there I am very disappointed. Its partially opened as always. Some work is always going on. Cleanness is an issue. I dont know what their employees doing. In short words very poor management. This is how we are representing our country on front of foreigners. If someone is coming from 1000 s of miles to see this beautiful structure then they must disappointed due to the limited areas visit. My suggestion is it should fully opened for normal days and the going on work will be done on off day. Or should fully closed until the work completion.

Indias second tahmahal, its cool and very fantastic place to visit with family and friends👭👬👫 , lots of fun best time, wonderful✨😍

Beautiful place to visit with family and loved ones😉

Nice place to visit in Aurangabad. This is small and similar replica of Taj Mahal. If you have not seen Taj Mahal then definitely you are going to like it. Also entry Ticket is also minimal.

Archeological Department of india not takomg proper care of this heritage...Need proper maintenance

This is looking mini Taj Mahal this is best to visit

One of the most beautiful monument and historical places in the city. Must visit for fine art lovers.

Historical place its tomb located in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Memory of Aurangzeb first wife... must visit. Very clean & decent.

A symbol of remembrance, Bibi Ka Maqbara is almost indistinguishable from another memento of love and its inspiration, the taj mahal. It might be a derivative of the Taj but the mausoleum stands proud as an expression of a son’s love for his mother and has its own wandering evocations. Also called the Tomb of the Lady, Bibi Ka Maqbara was designed by Ataullah, the son of Ahmad Lahauri, the architect of the Taj Mahal which explains its appearance heavily based on the prime marvel. Related to each other in ways more than one yet separated by time, magnitude and miles both the mausoleums are exemplary depictions of love, memory and loss. While the first memorial, Taj Mahal belongs to Aurangzeb’s mother, the second, Bibi Ka Maqbara is dedicated to his wife – both the tombs immortalising these women in the chapters of history and alluding to the despotic yet the last influential Mughal emperor.

No maintenance.

The Bibi ka Maqbara was built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzebs prince Azamshah in the late seventeenth century.Azam Shah built this tomb in the memory of his mother Dilras banu Begum, also known as Safavid Princess, the wife of Aurangzeb.

Nice place to visit and take photos. Darga is also there inside. Nice example of architecture work of that time. If you want to click photos do visit at day time only. At night no focus on main building, so can not click good pictures. Ample parking space, small shopping shops are outside.

The entry in Garden area was restricted... which according to me was best place to relax and feel the natural beauty of the place..

A replica of the Taj Mahal currently under maintenance (June2021). This was made in the memory of Azam Shahs mother, Dilbar Bano Bagum. This is a good choice to visit if youre visiting the Aurangabad city but theres nothing new youd find. Its just a good place for your instagram pictures and stories.

Nice place to visit in morning less people

Copy of Taj Mahal ,but need to be taken care of.Built in 1668 the Tomb of Rabia Durani or Bibi Ka Maqbara Also called the Tomb of the Lady was erected by Azam Shah, the son of Aurangzeb to commemorate his mother Dilras Begum who was titled Rabia Durani post her death.

Bibi ka makbara is the most beautiful place in Aurangabad and very natural...go to visit it looks like a small Taj Mahal master peace of history

Mini Taj Mahal... Made by aurangjeb in memory of his wife.. .👍 good piece of construction

Also called the Taj of the Deccan owing to its striking resemblance to Taj Mahal in Agra. It was built in 1660 by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in memory of his first wife Dilras Banu Begum. The marble artwork in the mausoleum is just amazing. Monument is very well maintained. It opens at sunrise until 10pm in the night. The entry ticket is around 25 Rs for Indians. The Garden outside is also very well landscaped.

Yes i really dont know that there is another mini Tajmahal... In Aurangabad for his wife.. there is also bani biwi mahal...

It is replica of Taj Mahal. Nice place to visit. Having garden at intrance to play children and to spend some time with family while relaxing on greenery.

Although the place was very good but due to pollutions it has become vulnerable to the harm. The authorities are trying to maintain the heritage but it is all in vain.

I have visited bibi ka maqbara last year with my family... Its is replica of original of tajmahal... But its is small size and not so well maintained... 😊

They say one should know about the place we visit. The bibi ka maqbara also known as tomb of the lady is located in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India. It was commissioned in 1660 by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the memory of his first and chief wife Dilras Banu Begum (posthumously known as rabia-ud-daurani) and is considered to be a symbol of aurangzebs conjugal fidelity. Dilras Banu Begum was born princess of the prominent Safavid dynasty of Iran (Persia) and was the daughter of Mirza Badi-uz-Zaman Safavi (titled Shahnawaz Khan) who was the viceroy of Gujarat. An inscription found on the main entrance door mentions that this mausoleum was designed and erected by Ata-ullah, an architect and Hanspat Rai, an engineer respectively. The marble for this mausoleum was brought from mines near Jaipur. Place is good to visit for travellers like me😉. A ticket price is ₹ 25/-. Basically, a good place to visit if you mark for travelling 🚙 to Aurangabad.

Very nice place must visit

Its called Tajmahal of Aurangabad for reason, Its look like Tajmahal and if you never really saw Agras Taj Mahal, and not currently planning, then you should visit it. Its a good place to visit with family. I suggest to visit in early evening as golden sky makes it more beautiful. It will be open till 10 PM but since there not enough lights is there, so its waste to be there in night. I saw both Tajmahal and Bibi ka maqbara, I still says that Tajmahal is better than it but its a good replica of Taj. From distance, Its look exactly like Taj Mahal with some minor differences but when you see it from near, you will see the difference. Taj Mahal have lots of carving on white marble and this artwork of Tajmahal look stunning and amazing and make it one of the worlds wonder. But in Bibi ka Maqbara, there not much artwork and carving is there. Still if you never saw Tajmahal, you should visit it and you will love it. Only concern is the maintenance, its not properly maintained and you can see black patches on tower and on the maqbara itself. Also a lot of waste is thrown in campus and damages done by visitors. Please keep in mind that our government is not the only one responsible for maintaining these historical sites, We also have responsibility to keep these places clean and should not destroy them just to take good selfies or to show love to your loved one, it already have enough carving.

Lovely place... Symbol of love.. Maqbara was commissioned by Aurangzeb in 1660 in the memory of his wife. Art, architecture, location everything is beautiful.

A  symbol of remembrance, Bibi Ka Maqbara is almost indistinguishable from another memento of love and its inspiration, the Taj Mahal. It might be a derivative of the Taj but the mausoleum stands proud as an expression of a son’s love for his mother and has its own wandering evocations.

While the first memorial, Taj Mahal belongs to Aurangzeb’s mother, the second, Bibi Ka Maqbara is dedicated to his wife – both the tombs immortalising these women in the chapters of history and alluding to the despotic yet the last influential Mughal emperor.Bibi Ka Maqbara InformationBuilt in 1668 the Tomb of Rabia Durani or Bibi Ka Maqbara was erected by Azam Shah, the son of Aurangzeb to commemorate his mother Dilras Begum who was titled Rabia Durani post her death. Being the spitting image of the Taj Mahal, the mausoleum is also called the Taj of the Deccan or the Dakkhani Taj. The north of the country is dotted with the specimens of the Mughal architectural magnificence, Bibi Ka Maqbara stands as a lone soul in the southern part. It was Aurangzeb’s long-standing governorship of Aurangabad that the shrine came to exist in the city and is today one of the most famous historical monuments in Maharashtra.Bibi Ka Maqbara HistoryThe story of Dilras Banu is nothing short of a fairytale. Born in the Safavid royal family of Iran, princess Dilras was the daughter of Shahnawaz Khan who was the then viceroy of the state of Gujarat. She married Aurangzeb in 1637 thus becoming his first consort and wife. Together they had five children and after delivering her fifth child, Dilras died. Both Aurangzeb and his eldest son, Azam Shah couldn’t bear the loss of the most important woman in their lives. It is said that the father-son duo were grief stricken for months and it took great efforts for them to come out of the state of shock. It was then in 1668 that Azam Shah ordered for a mausoleum to be built for his beloved mother on the lines of Taj Mahal, which was the resting place of Banu’s mother-in-law and Aurangzeb’s mother, Mumtaz Mahal. Both the women died because of complications developed through childbirth.Bibi Ka Maqbara ConstructionThe tomb was to be more splendid than the Taj itself but due to strict adherence to the tight budget allocated for the construction, the mausoleum could only result in an arduous emulation. The Mughal architects led great importance on having a stream passing by the structures they erected with a garden based on a Charbagh pattern. Bibi Ka Maqbara is no different. There was a time when River Kham could be seen flowing behind the tomb. The Maqbara also has a Charbagh-styled garden and it sits pretty right in the centre with structures in the four directions. To the north is a 12-door Baradari, south is where the main entrance is, to the west is a mosque and facing the east is Aina khana or the mirror chamber.The white dome of the Maqbara has panels adorned with intricate designs of flowers. The maqbara is graced by four minarets on corners with stairs leading to the tomb on three sides. The pathways are decorated with trees on both the sides. There is a water pool along with octagonal-shaped cisterns and the centre of the pathway consists of 61 fountains and 488 ft long and 96 feet broad reservoirs.Bibi Ka Maqbara FactsRabia-ud-Durani, the title conferred to Dilras Banu Begum was attributed to an Iranian noble lady, Rabia Basra known for her benevolence. The marble for the construction of the mausoleum was sourced from the marble mines in Jaipur. Its cost of construction is estimated to be around Rs 6-7 lakh.It is believed that the marbles for the construction of the structure were carried in ox-pulled carts.

Mini tajmahal worth visitThis is just replica of the grey Taj Mahal. But worth visit in aurangabad. People already visited Taj Mahal will praising the replica.A tomb of Aurangjebs wife.A good place to visit. Nice architecture. It is a replica of original Taj Mahal. One can have good photo shoot with family.Niceits a small version of taj mahal of agra. really nuce structure, quite big but not as big as original one.Should be valued for its own splendourAliasing this little piece of wonder as Mini Taj Mahal is itself undermining the splendor of the Tomb of Dilras Banu Begum, the first wife of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Visitors have a general tendency to compare it with the Taj Mahal, which should not be done. The ornate designes are entirely carved in marble. The colorful stones engraving are totally lacking here, which is what distinguishes it from the mighty Taj. The grave of the Queen lies one level lower and is viewed from above. A very well manicured garden surrounds the mausoleum complex. Although the water channels and fountains are not operative.Tip: Choose the early part of the day for a nice experience.

The Bibi Ka Maqbara is a tomb located in Aurangabad City. It was built by the Aurangzeb in the memory of his first wife.Due to the strong resemblance to Taj Mahal in Agra, it is known the Dakkhani Taj for its similar designSome remarkable architectural work includes, Jali work on the tomb, Arches inside the tomb, Designs on the interior of the dome & Floral designs on marble

What an experience... One of the best place... situated between mountain ranges ...need a little bit maintenance...best place to visit with family in Maharashtra!!

Amazing structure

Biwi ka Maqbara also called Dakkhani Taj and known as mini Taj mahal is beautiful and charming piece of architecture .It has vast area and has lawn around the monumentThere is a counter outside from where you have to get your entery token.vehicle parking is charged.

Not that well maintained... Everything is dried out. Construction is also tearing apart automatically.If fountains and garden is open then it will be more effective

Nice Historical Monument...Well Maintained.. Loved It..

Bibi Ka MaqbaraSituated in Maharashtra, Aurangabad is a popular tourist magnet attracting visitors round the year for its various monuments and is easily accessible from Mumbai. A must visit place in lifetime

Place is nice to visit. Calm and relaxing. Water fountain not working.

Wow what a place!! Must visit place in Aurangabad. I am Glad to visit it. Enjoyed spending time here and some nice pics. Peaceful place and surrounding garden is worth spending time. Taking good memories from here.

Its just unfortunate that v could not enter the Maqbara as due to COVID-19 situation it was closed. However, it was visible from outside. Its sad to see such a lovely monument in bad condition sheer due to poor management. From outside, v saw all around garbage, debrish and dirt. Once lock down is over, V hope that management would look after this world heritage properly to retain its beauty.

This is really wonderful place. But people have to maintain this place. Current situation of this is place is getting worst. 😓 But good news is government started renovation of this place. 😍

Place is really so beautiful 😍 but I m quite unhappy too because it is not maintained and properly cared 😟

Peaceful place and historic memories

Really good place to visit in the Rainy season. Architecture is beautiful.View of sunset from the compound was astonishing. The garden around the structure is kept out of reach for people.The place stays open till 10 pm or so but Ill recommend not to visit after dark as the lights present are not going to give you a good view of the place.Entry fee is only 25 Rupees.

So nice place look like a taj mahal

Nice place . Any one enjoyed like stay in Agra wah taj .

Beautiful picturesque... maintained well and less crowd...try visiting in daytime so that the architecture can be appreciated well.

Good place, good for one time visit. Its the mini Taj mahal. Its open till 10pm. The fountains were not operational due to covid situation. Dont fall for local guide, they just tell whats written on the board at the Entrance gate.

Nice historical place, with well Maintained service.👍

I really liked this monument. I wish they had preserved it better. It’s really a pity that no maintenance is being done on such a wonderful monument. This is definitely a place you should visit if you are in Aurangabad.

Also know as Taj of Deccan, sort of OK if you have been to Taj. Enough parking available. Would take 2-3 Hours if you want to stroll around and explore all parts.Must visit if you are in Aurangabad

Good place to complete a day.A very clean and green environment.Token is needed for the entrance.All the sculptures and gardens are well maintained.There is parking for 2 wheelers and 3 wheelers.Food courts available.Cool breeze blows on the top of mahal.

Beautiful place to visit ! Ruined yet safely maintained !

Nice place this one👌👌

I visited this place on 12-08-2021. Maintenance work was in process when I visited there. It resembles Tejo Mahalaya but its beauty and size is less. Still a wonderful place.

Very very nice place for visiting please everyone visit this place I will update images as soon as possible

Very good tourist spot, Maintenance is very bad .

One of the place while exploring Aurangabad

The Bibi-Ka-Maqbara is a beautiful mausoleum of Rabia-ul-Daurani alias Dilras Banu Begum. Bibi Ka Maqbara is built out of marbles on an elevated square platform with four minarets at its corners. MTDC organizes a fair every year in the month of October as the Bibi Ka Maqbara festival.

It is nice place and its look like a tajmahal but its size are small its awasome guys I suggest visited this place.

Nice place to visit
