Paua shell heart from the depth of New Zealand sea, in shackles with background of a love-story that threatened an empire. An ode to Anarkali - Salim (4th Mughal emperor) who rebelled and went to war against his father Akbar (3rd Mughal emperor) for his love.
The Indian lady adorned in an Anarkali exudes grace and elegance. Her Anarkali ensemble, a traditional and timeless attire, consists of a long, flowing frock-style kurta with intricate embroidery and vibrant colors that reflect the rich cultural heritage of India. The outfit gracefully flares out from the waist, creating a regal silhouette that enhances her feminine charm. The Anarkali is paired with a matching churidar (tightly fitted trousers) and a flowing dupatta (scarf), completing the ensemble with a touch of sophistication. The lady's attire captures the essence of traditional Indian fashion, celebrating both the intricacies of craftsmanship and the wearer's inherent grace, making her a vision of cultural beauty.

Another item much in vogue for weddings and other ceremonies is "Anarkali"
It is a single piece flowing robe slightly cinched at the waist with a belt or a cord. The large bottom hemline is distinctive and is meant to accentuate the twirling motion of a dancer. The dress has a scarf/chunni and a salwar which is worn on the legs underneath the billowing dress.
Anarkali literally means a tender shoot of the pomegranate fruit and is a name that was given to a figure of historical romance in the era of Akbar. Anarkali was a dancing girl as per the story and the billowing skirt bears her name for posterity centuries later.

Redefining traditional silhouettes through an editorial presentation.
This portrait of Klaudia Malkova pairs the timeless artistry of a hand-embroidered anarkali with the whimsical structure of a pale blue fascinator.
The square-shoulder pose anchors the look, creating a silhouette that is hopefully as powerful as it is poetic.
This portrait shot has been shot with a 105 macro lens not in general a lens for portraits. Here it was to obtain the fine embrodidery work details.

Anarkali's real name was Nadira. She was one of the most famous dancing girls during Emperor Akbar's period (1542 - 1600). Prince Salim who later ascended the throne of Akbar fell in love with her. This relationship was not viewed favourably by emperor Akbar who, according to legend, sentenced her to be buried alive at this place.
This mausoleum is located inside the compound of civil secretariat Lahore and is the office of the Punjab archives.

Among the earliest extant Mughal tombs, Anarkali's sepulcher is also one of the most significant Mughal buildings of the period. The tomb, to the south of Lahore's Old City, is part of the compound of Punjab Secretariat on Lower Mall, and is located at the rear of Chief Secretary's Office. Since the tomb is utilized as the Punjab Archives, access to the building is restricted. Make sure that you plan a visit to it during office hours, otherwise you will find the gates to the secretariat locked and the sentry at the gate unwilling to allow even a peep.
Not only is it a "most ingeniously planned octagonal building", it is a memorial to the love-legend centering around prince Salim (later emperor Jahangir), and Anarkali (pomegranate blossom) who belonged to the harem of emperor Akbar, Salim's father. Although Mughal sources are silent about Anarkali, European contemporary travelers such as William Finch related the popular gossip rife at the time, mentioning her as Akbar's "most beloved wife."
Latif, quoting popular legend, says that Sharf-un-Nisa or Nadira Begam, with the title of Anarkali, was found giving a return smile to the prince by the emperor in the mirrors of his palace. Suspecting an intrigue or worse, Akbar ordered Anarkali to be interred alive. Accordingly, she was placed in an upright position and buried alive in a masonry wall, brick by brick. The prince, who must have been devastated, on succeeding the throne in 1605, "had an immense superstructure raised over her sepulcher" 16 years after her death.
The tomb, once set off as the centerpiece of a beautifully laid out garden setting, is today hemmed in by the structures surrounding it. However, it is this tomb which gifted the name Anarkali to the whole area when the British first set up a cantonment here. The monument employs a popular format using an octagonal plan, its sides alternately measuring 44 feet and 30 feet. Architecturally, however, it is unique in its utilization of semi-octagonal towers dominating each corner, rising well above the walls and terminated with cupolas over pavilion-like kiosks. A low pitched dome—among the earliest Mughal examples of double-dome—spans the central chamber and is carried on a drum or neck. The lower shell of the dome is constructed of small bricks in five stages or rings. The central dome is supported inside by eight arches 12 feet 3 inches thick. It is a masterpiece of solid masonry work of the early Mughal period.
Over the last couple of hundred years, the tomb has been put to several uses. In the first half of 19th century it served as the residence of Ranjit Singh's French general Jean Baptiste Ventura's Armenian wife. From 1847 it was used as offices for the clerical staff of the first British Resident, Henry Lawrence. From 1851 it was the venue for divine service, while in early 1857 it was consecrated as St. James' Church, later being declared a Pro-Cathedral.
The sarcophagus made of pure marble of extraordinary beauty and exquisite workmanship is, in view of 19th century scholars, "one of the finest pieces of carving in the world." It was put away in one of the side bays when the building was first converted into a church. It was then placed in the spot from which the altar had been removed rather than being replaced in its original central position. In 1940 the grave was found intact in its original position, five feet below the present floor. From accounts of its discovery, the grave is apparently of plastered brick-work, inscribed on the top and sides with the ninety-nine attributes of God and below with a Persian couplet. The Persian couplet inscribed on the sarcophagus has been translated by Latif into English. "Ah! could I behold the face of my beloved once more, I would give thanks unto my God until the day of resurrection," and is signed "Majnoon Salim Akbar" or "The profoundly enamoured Salim, son of Akbar" and expresses Jahangir's intense passion for the beautiful Anarkali. No doubt the two inscribed dates 1008 [1599] and 1024 [1615] refer to the date of Anarkali's death and the completion of the sepulcher respectively. Historians now believe the tomb to be that of Sahab-e-Jamal, one of the wives of Jahangir, who died in Lahore in 1599.
Today the monument appears as a simple, whitewashed massive brick structure, robbed of its decorative veneer, and its apertures and aiwan profiles filled in to serve its varied usage. However, the internal spaces, inspite of the alteration, are exciting, the viewing of which coupled with the amazing treasure of archival material of Punjab Archives—set up as Punjab Record Office in 1891, when the cathedral was shifted to its new premises—is wonderfully rewarding. For those interested in history of the British Punjab, it is a treasure trove, for, along with rare images and other documents, files dating back to the earliest days of British administration are carefully and meticulously maintained here.
"From small beginnings come great things".
Akbar the Great is said to have had a beautiful maid whom he had named as Anarkali [Anar=pomegranate;kali=bud], which means that she was as beautiful as a pomegranate bud, but was bricked alive in a wall as Akbar did not approve of the relation between her and Prince Salim (later Jehangir)...
Eid is a Muslim festival, similar to Christmas, but unlike the Catholics celebration, the Muslim festivity is not celebrated for any significant dates or prophet births but to mark the end of the month long fasting or Ramadan.

Anarkali outfit that was a traditional Mughal style garara, shirt and dupatta which was paired with an ancient and an antique family airloom vest. My cousin Sana wore her great grandmothers koti (vest) but made her own matching shirt, bottom skirt and head drape all inspired by this vest. Simply stunning!! Mashallah
