Bibi ka maqbara

History of Bibi Ka Maqbara Known colloquially as both the "Fake Taj Mahal" and the "Poor Man's Taj Mahal," Biki Ka Maqbara was built in the late 17th century by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, in memory of his first wife, Dilras Banu Begum. The Taj Mahal, as you might remember from history class, was also built by an Mughal emperor as a memorial to one of his wives – Shah Jahan is the man who built Taj Mahal for Mumtaz Mahal (his second). This might all seem purely coincidental (I mean, what more could Mughal emperors have to do back then than build monuments to their dead wives?) until you consider the fact that Shah Jahan (the man who built Taj Mahal) was Aurangzeb's father. The phrase "like father, like son" seems pretty appropriate here. Fake Taj Mahal Architecture Although Bibi Ka Maqbara seems a mediocre counterfeit of the Taj Mahal, its construction began with the idea that it would actually be superior, both historically and from a prestige standpoint, to the actual Taj. The subtle differences between the Taj Mahal and Bibi Ka Maqbara stem from several causes. The first reason the former is so much grander than the latter is that Aurangzeb imposed harsh budgetary restrictions on construction shortly after it began. Secondly, the importance of architecture generally waned during the reigns of the later Mughals, which resulted in structures that were less creative and elaborate, both in design and execution.

AURANGABAD: A large portion of one of the eight minarets of the famed Bibi-Ka-Maqbara here collapsed on Saturday evening, sparking angry reactions from heritage lovers. Four of the minarets are situated around the main dome-like structure of the historic monument. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) staffers, who were at the structure, said a large corner of one of these four minarets located on the right-front side caved in. No one was injured in the accident. The site attracts a huge number of visitors, including foreigners, throughout the year. "A few tourists had kept their footwear exactly at the spot where the portion of the minaret fell. Chaos prevailed thereafter and the movement of tourists was restricted at the site for a brief period," one of the staffers said, adding that the place has now been barricaded completely. Heritage lovers blame poor upkeep at Bibi-ka-Maqbara Veteran historian Shaikh Ramzan said the part-collapse of the minaret is a matter of grave concern. “Poor upkeep is leading to gradual damage of the BibiKa-Maqbara. While ASI authorities claim that conservation and renovation work is on at the site, the main structure is still crying for official attention. It has gathered a lot of dust that needs to be removed in the first place before beautification measures are taken up in the periphery,” he said. Advocate Swapnil Joshi, co-convener of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), Aurangabad chapter, said the collapse shou...
