The Taj Mahal:the most famous symbal of love in the world~<2>

One day , Shah Jahan heard about a rebellion against him. He immediately led his armies to fight against the rebels.His wife insisted on coming with him,even though she was pregnant and the journey would be difficult.Sadly,she died giving birth during the travels


When the Shah found out about this,he was heartbroken.His love for Mumtaz was so strong that in the months following her death his hair turned completely white.He felt that he had to find a way to make their love last forever.


He thought that the best way to do so would be to build a magnificent tomb.They could be buried there together,and their love would be remembered through its beauty.


The Shah went all over India to find the best marble jewels.He bought so much that it took 1000 elephants to carry it all.Great artists were hired from all over the world to work on the tomb. The Shah told them to design the Taj in the shape of a rose,since that was Mumtaz's favorite flower.


1.The summarize is talking about Mumtaz died while giving birth when she traveled with her husband.After she died,the Shah thought the best way for their love to be remembered was to build a magnificent tomb.
