hanspat rai
in 1660, aurangzeb commissioned a mausoleum at aurangabad to act as dilras' final resting place, known as bibi ka maqbara ("tomb of the lady"). here, dilras was buried under the posthumous title of 'rabia-ud-daurani' ("rabia of the age"). in the following years, her tomb was repaired by her son azam shah under aurangzeb's orders. bibi ka maqbara was the largest structure that aurangzeb had to his credit and bears a striking resemblance to the taj mahal, the mausoleum of dilras' mother-in-law, empress mumtaz mahal, who herself died in childbirth. aurangzeb, himself, is buried a few kilometers away from her mausoleum in khuldabad.

three years after dilras' death in 1660, aurangzeb commissioned a mausoleum at aurangabad to act as her final resting place, known as bibi ka maqbara ("tomb of the lady"). it is notable that aurangzeb never raised monumental edifices during his half-a-century reign, but made just one exception, that is, to build the mausoleum of his wife. here, dilras was buried under the posthumous title of 'rabia-ud-daurani' ("rabia of the age"). the bibi ka maqbara bears a striking resemblance to the taj mahal, the mausoleum of dilras' mother-in-law, empress mumtaz mahal, who herself died in childbirth.
