Tomb of the Emperor Aurangzeb at Khuldabad.
He left few buildings, save for a modest mausoleum for his first wife, Bibi Ka Maqbara, sometimes called the mini-Taj Mahal, in Aurangabad.

Bibi Ka Maqbara was built by Prince Azam Shah, son of Emperor Aurangzeb, in the late 17th century as a loving tribute to his mother, Dilras Bano Begam. The monument's name translates literally to 'Tomb of the Lady', but has earned the nickname 'poor man’s Taj' because of its resemblance to the Taj Mahal. It is situated in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.

"BIBI KA MAKBARA" refered as the "Poor Man's Taj" is the replica of Taj Mahal. It was amazing. Built way back in 1679 by Emperor Aurangzeb's son as a tribute to his mother, Rabia Durani, Bibi Ka Makbara is an exact replica of India's famous tourist attraction, the Taj Mahal. The monument's name translates literally to 'Tomb of the Lady',but has earned the nickname 'poor man’s Taj' because of its resemblance to the Taj Mahal. It is situated in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.

Bibi Ka Makbara has a central dome, surrounded by four smaller domes and four minarets. Four taller minarets surround this central structure. It is called the Poor Man's Taj Mahal because it is not entirely built of marble but also of limestone. To my untrained eyes, it seemed that it was entirely built of marble. Both the famous Taj Mahal in Agra in north-central India, and the lesser-known Bibi Ka Makbara, are monuments of love.
