A touch of a 'Taj'

Near Aurangabad is a 1660AD tomb called Bibi Ka Maqbara, known as the mini-Taj Mahal.  Built by the Mogul Aurangzeb for his first wife.  It certainly resembles the Taj Mahal, but rather than built all in marble it's mostly a kind of plaster.  It's still good for a visit.

First, on the road a few water buffalo strolling by:





An old door feature
The inside ceiling of the dome
The mausoleum below the main floor
Looking toward the ceiling in one of the four recesses
A recess with marble screen
A few pics of the mosque next to the tomb
