India. Agra. One of the marvels of the Golden Triangle is the mini Taj Mahal. Built from 1660 in inlaid marble.
The Bibi Ka Maqbara is nearly as old as the Taj Mahal. Whereas the Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1632, the Bibi Ka Maqbara was commissioned 28 years later in 1660 by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Like the Taj Mahal, it was built by a Mughal emperor of India and like the Taj Mahal, it was built for his beloved wife (namely Dilras Banu Begum).
