The Bibi-Ka-Maqbara mausoleum was made for the wife of Aurangzeb (Shah Jehan's son). Like other Mughal tombs Rabia-ud-Durrani's tomb has a charbagh setting, with ponds, fountains, and channels. The garden is enclosed by crenellated walls with pavilions on three sides. Both garden and tomb have been compared to the Taj Mahal - and judged to the work of a less-talented designer (Atam Aula).
Address Aurangabad, India

    It is regrettable that no money or effort is put in by the people who charge the Westerners 5 times more than locals to see these ancient monuments. There are no gardens to speak of and what few weeds grow at the Bibi are surrounded by plastic bags and other detritus. The Red Fort in Delhi, another Moghul garden of old, is similarly neglected. I have visited both these places several times and have seen little improvement despite increasing tourism.
