The shining white mausoleum, known as Bibi ka Maqbara (Queen’s Tomb), mimics the appearance of Shah Jahan’s Taj Mahal, although it is half the size and displays exteriors of burnished stucco rather than marble. Its derisive modern nickname, ‘the poor man’s Taj’, hardly does justice to Aurangzeb’s vision of honouring his wife with a classic Mughal tomb.
