Places of Interest in Aurangabad
Aurangabad Caves: They lie just beyond the city, nearly forgotten - the
Aurangabad caves, excavated between the 2nd and 6th centuries AD. Tantra influences
echo in the highly ornate and strikingly detailed sculptures and architecture.
Bibi ka Maqbara: In 1679, Aurangzeb's son built a tribute to his mother,
Begum Rabia- ud- Durani - the hauntingly beautiful Bibi-Ka-Maqbara. A replica
of the Taj Mahal, it stands out as the only piece of Moghul architecture on
the Deccan Plateau.
Pan Chakki: This late 17th century water mill displays the engineering
skills of Malik Ambar - architect of Aurangabad City. It is surrounded by a
picturesque gardened landscape, dotted with fish tanks, a spiritual guide to
Aurangzeb.
