On the afternoon after our visit to the Elora caves, we drove back to
Aurangabad. On the way, we stopped at the tomb of Aurangzeb, the Moghul
emperor after whom Aurangabad is named. Then we climbed the rock fortress of
Daulatabad. Back in Aurangabad itself, we visited the Bibigar, a kind of
poor-man's Taj Mahal.
