  Anarkali Summary
Anarkali, whose title means "pomegranate blossom" (bestowed for her beauty), was buried alive in a wall said to be located within the bazaar, by the order of the Mughal Emperor Akbar.
Whether or not Anarkali existed is controversial as there is no evidence that Prince Salim ever fell in love with the courtesan - there is no reference to her in Salim's autobiography.
Anarkali's tomb is situated on the premises of the Punjab Civil Secretariat and now houses the Punjab Records Office.
