Beautiful replica. In the city of Aurangabad. Maintained well. Small monument. Will not take much time. Carry umbrella, very hot. The gardens are big, but could have been developed better.

Though it has been advertised as the Taj of south India, the condition of this historical monument is piteous. Like most of the sites in Maharashtra, the government is just not bothered about preserving history. Also, note that like any other tourist place even this place has "tourist-guides" who are basically thieves, all the tell you is a couple of... More

Bibi Ka Maqbara is worth visiting only if you happen to be in Aurangabad. It could have been better maintained and managed. I enjoyed my visit to Bibi ka Maqbara as i met up with an old friend from Africa and he knew a lot about the place.

The location may not be the best site to have a wonderful structure like bibi Ka Maqbara. You need to go through densely populated areas, dusty streets to reach this place. No wonder it feels "why on earth did I come this way ?" Soon this emotions will be changed as soon as you see the replica of Taj Mahal.... More

Replica of Tajmahal and good place. The people who can't afford or do not have time to go to Agra can visit this place and will get fair idea of Tajmahal.

Go without any expectation, if you go thinking of a Taj Mahal you will be disappointed, if you go on ease then you will find a amazing spot for relaxing and an amazing view even in the night

I visited this beautiful monument sometime back, before visiting the original Taj Mahal. It was owsome, good gardens and landscaping. Musical fountain at the sunset is almost same as of Vrindavan, Mysore. Its popularity is bleak due to the existence of the great Taj Mahal. One should praise and understand the intention behind this monument even it is not matching... More
