Bibi Ka Maqbara
This is the burial place of Aurangzeb's 1st wife, Rabia-ud-Durrani. It is an imitation of the Taj at Agra. This mausoleum is also termed as 'poor man's Taj Mahal' owing to it being a less grander replica of the Taj. Behind the mausoleum is located a small archaeological museum. Emperor Aurangzeb's son built this monument in 1679 AD in memory of his mother Rabia (Aurangzeb's wife).
