How Anarkali suit became famous?

The Anarkali suit is the symbol of richness and history. It is a form of Salwar

Kameez worn by women in India and various South Asian countries. The name

‘Anarkali’ signifies the famous dancer at Mughal Emperor Akbar’s court, who

attracted and stole the heart of Prince Salim. She is renowned for her exceptional

beauty, and the name ‘Anarkali’ was given to her literally means ‘blossoming

pomegranate.’


This name is often related to romance, mystery, and tragedy. If we believe the popular

legend, it is the story of forbidden love between Anarkali and Prince Salim and the

consequence of their affair. Anarkali, as a dancer in the royal court, wore flattering

Kurtis. This design had a tight-fitting torso and flared expansively through the knee. The

dress was available with both half or full sleeves and unique necklines. Cotton, silks,

muslins, velvets, brocades, and organzas were used as the material for weaving

Anarkali suits.


There were so many unique and

distinguished motifs used in the print of the

Kurti. Block printing, gold thread work, and

Kalamakari (art using pens), or precious

stones were popular as motifs and part of the

Mughal culture.

The Hindi film industry made a significant

impact on Indian culture in the 20th century.

The story of love between Prince Salim and

Anarkali got its cinematic adaptation in 1960.

The film was called ‘Mughal-e-Azam.’ It was

a cinematic masterpiece, and the audience

adored the actress Madhubala as Anarkali.

The movie was so successful that it set the

trend, which continued for decades. The

Anarkali Kurti has seen so many changes

according to the fashion trends of the time.

New patterns, designs, embroideries, and

embellishments are used for creating the

latest innovations.


Today, the Anarkali is preferred for almost every special occasion like weddings,

parties, festivals, social gatherings, etc. Women of all ages love this suit design for its

elegance, uniqueness, and style. Even the film personalities and models wear Anarkali

on their special occasions or public appearances.
