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.
