Ellora Caves - Kailasa temple | Aurangazeb's tomb | Aurangabad

Not far from Ellora caves, you can find the tomb of Aurangazeb, the last Mughal emperor of India. Unlike several grand tombs built in the memory of Mughal Emperors, the Aurangzeb Tomb is an unmarked grave at the Dargah of his spiritual guru, Sheikh Zainuddin. It is said that it was Aurangzeb's wish to be buried near the dargah, near his Guru, to pay for all the sins he had committed.
