Summary

Description
English: Taj Mahal, built by Shah Jahan in the loving memory of his wife, is renowned all over the world, but very few know about the beautiful mausoleum built by his grandson, Azam Shah in the memory of his mother, Dilras Banu Begum, the wife of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb!

Bibi-ka-Maqbara also known as the “Taj of deccan” or Dakkhani Taj is the prime architectural monument located in the city of Aurangabad, Maharashtra.

The inscription at the gates states that the architect was Ata-ullah, who was the son of Ustad Ahmad Lahauri who is said to be the principal designer of the Taj Mahal.

Another interesting fact about it is that just like Mumtaz mahal, Dilras Banu Begam also died in childbirth.

Although built on a smaller scale than Tajmahal, due to the financial restrictions imposed by Aurangzeb, it is an architectural marvel indeed.

The mughal gardens, living water management system, pavements ornamented with kiosks and floral motifs rank the maqbara among the best of Mughal buildings of the Deccan!
हिन्दी: शाहजहां द्वारा निर्मित ताजमहल दुनिया भर में अपनी खूबसूरती के लिये प्रसिद्ध है, लेकिन बहुत कम लोग जानते हैं दक्षिण में स्थित एक अद्भुत स्मारक के बारे में जिसे उनके पोते आज़म शाह ने अपनी माँ और मुग़ल सम्राट औरंगज़ेब की पत्नी दिलरास बानो बेगम के लिए बनवाया था।

बीबी का मकबरा जिसे दक्खनी ताज भी कहा जाता है, महाराष्ट्र के औरंगाबाद शहर में स्थित एक प्रमुख वास्तुशिल्पीय स्मारक है जिसे ताजमहल की प्रतिकृति माना जाता है।।

इस मकबरे का मुख्य आकर्षण मकबरे के मुख्य द्वार पर बनी समाधी है जिसकी परिकल्पना उस समय के वास्तुकार अत-उल्लाह ने की थी। अत-उल्लाह उस्ताद अहमद लाहौरी के पुत्र थे जिन्होंने ताज महल का प्रारूप तैयार किया था।

इसके बारे में एक और दिलचस्प तथ्य यह है कि मुमताज महल की ही तरह, दिलरास बानो बेगम की भी मृत्यु प्रसव के वक़्त हुई थी।

हालांकि औरंगजेब द्वारा लगाए गए वित्तीय प्रतिबंधों के कारण ताजमहल की तुलना में इसे छोटे पैमाने पर बनाया गया है, पर यह वास्तव में एक वास्तुशिल्पीय चमत्कार है।
