Which Mughal monument was built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the memory of his wife, Dilras Banu Begum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Bibi Ka Maqbara.

  • Bibi Ka Maqbara is almost indistinguishable from another memento of love and its inspiration, the Taj Mahal.
  • It might be a derivative of the Taj but the mausoleum stands proud as an expression of a son’s love for his mother and has its own wandering evocations.
  • Also called the Tomb of the Lady, Bibi Ka Maqbara was designed by Ataullah, the son of Ahmad Lahauri, the architect of the Taj Mahal which explains its appearance heavily based on the prime marvel.
