Tomb was built for 7 lakh rupees

It is said that the cost of building it then came to Rs 700,000, while the cost to build the Taj Mahal came to Rs 3.20 crore at that time. This is the reason why Bibi Ka Maqbara is also called 'Taj Mahal of the poor'. The Taj Mahal of Agra was built with pure white marble, while the dome of Bibi's tomb was built with marble. The rest of the tomb is made of plaster, so that it looks like marble in appearance.
