The Anarkali Salwar Suit gets its name from a royal courtesan at the court of the great Mughal emperor Akbar. She was buried alive by the emperor for having fallen in love with Prince Salim, who later became Emperor Jahangir.
Anarkali literally stands for "Pomegranate Blossom." A pomegranate is a tropical fruit found in India and the Mediterranean belt. Its flowers are bright orange-red in colour.
The Mughal Courtesans had mastered the famous dance form known as "Mujra" which was performed in the royal court to entertain the Kings and Queens. The long, flowing dresses worn by the dancers later came to be known as Anarkali Salwar Kameez, in remembrance of the great beauty-Anarkali.
Before being transformed into a high-end fashion attire, the Anarkali Style Salwar Suit was worn by the women of North India, Pakistan, and The Middle East for special occasions, wedding and religious occasions, and were richly embellished with stones, beads, zari and threadwork, and sometimes, sequins.
The Anarkali is one outfit that flatters every figure. It accentuates the top part of the body and hides the waist and hips. The Modern Anarkali Dress is also known as the "Empire waist".
The Designer Anarkali Suits we see today are a modern version of the classic Anarkali churidar that was worn by the beautiful courtesans of the Mughal era. The classic Anarkali churidar consisted of a flowing frock-style top or kameez and a slim fitted bottom or churidar along with a long matching shawl or dupatta.
There have been many innovations in this particular style over the years in our fashion industry. Many different types of Anarkali suits have become popular, such as A-line, frock style, asymmetric, floor length, jacket style, multi-layer and Pakistani style anarkali suits.
