History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v1.c12.24

v1.c12.24

The splendid mausoleum or Muqbara of his wife Dilras Banu, surnamed Rabia-ud-daurani, is an imitation of the Taj Mahal. It was built after his accession and was thoroughly repaired by his son M. Azam. It is still the finest architectural ornament of the city, and next to it stands the vast Juma Masjid which was completed by him. Aurangzib’s residence, though greatly altered by later occupants, still remains and is pointed out to travellers as the Alamgiri Mahal.
