Why do Taj Mahal and Bibi ka Maqbara look like each other?
2007-12-30 21:23:30 · 10 answers · asked by tokyo_panch_marg 2 in Travel ➔ India ➔ Other - India
The Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal, in Agra, in loving memory of his wife Mumtaz. His son Aurangzeb, who overthrew him, built the Bibi-Ka-Maqbara as a mausoleum to his wife Rabia-ud-Durrani.
Both look alike but the fact is Aurangzeb has copied from shahjahan . Shahjahan has made for his true love so the taj mahal is popular and it has been in 7 wonders of the world but aurangzeb has copied the same model and it has not been popular not even know by most of the people in india itself.
Always orginality speaks... True love always be beyond times

Because Shahajahan Built the Bibi ka Maqbar trying to copy the original Taj Mahal , Which was then a temple. He did not satisfy with Bibi aka Maqbara So He converted Taj Mahal Into Bibi ka Maqbar. Bibi ka Maqbar later used by Auranjeb for his wife.

Because Bibi ka Maqbara was made a rival to original Taj Mahal
While the original is the final resting ground of Mumtaz Mahal. Her husband, Emperor Shah Jahan, had it constructed until his favorite wife passed away in 1629. The Mini-Taj is a tribute to a mother. Prince Azam Khan, son of the Mugal Emperor Aurangzeb, built the Bibi Ka Maqbara in 1679 to honor his mother Rabia Durani. He modeled it on the original Taj Mahal.

Original looks better than copy.
White looks more holy than red.

Dear this is a brief description regarding your question,
There is a big difference between TM & BkM,
TM built under supervision of Shajahaan by White Marble. (Mind blowing view)
BkM built under supervision of Aurangzeb by Normal Red Stone.
Structure is same but there is a big different in exterior as well as interior.
