Bibi Ka Maqbara, a "Bibi Ka Maqbara, a "travesty of the Taj," has a charm and grandeur of its own. It has its own personality, so to say its own identity. It may be like the Taj but it is not its exact replica. At the backdrop of the Maqbara stands the rugged Deccan terrain back, rocky and infinitely lonely. The off-white structure, latticed with colourful motifs and intricate patterns, stands as a befitting tribute to the fourth wife of an austere emperor. She is laid there alone while in the Taj the lovers are laid side by side. The Bibi’s tomb is decorated moderately. The atmosphere is serene but is laden with the eternal sadness of the ultimate finality. You come out, throw a departing glance at the monument and bid goodbye to the mini Taj as the guide whisks you to the nearby Panchakki, built in 1624 to commemorate a Muslim saint, Baba Shah Muzaffar. If the Maqbara speaks of man’s architectural ingenuity, the Panchakki is a wonder of nature," has a charm and grandeur of its own. It has its own personality, so to say its own identity.
