Aurangabad is a city founded by a Moghul emperor, Aurangzeb, in 1653. Aurangzeb was an arsh emperor, ardent and strict muslim, abandoning the religious openness of his predecessors. His policy has been awful. Actually, one can consider he destructed the Moghul empire and that his reign marks the beginning of their end. He decided one day to move his capital in this area.
This is not what you think it is...
It looks like the Taj Mahal
But it's not the Taj Mahal
Only a replica
Not totally made of marble
And about 2/3 of the original size
But still very impressing

Aurangabad est une ville fondee par un empereur Moghol, Aurangzeb, en 1653. Aurangzeb etait un dur empereur, fervent et strict musulman, abandonnant l'ouverture religieuse de ses predecesseurs. Sa politique a ete affreuse. En fait, on peut considere qu'il a detruit l'empire moghol et que son regne marque le debut de leur fin. Ildecida un jour de demenager sa capitale a cet endroit.
