An '''anarkali''' is a type of suit for women made up of a long frock-style top and features a slim fitted bottom. It varies in length and embroidery such as floor-length and usually ends up at the knees. Anarkali suits owe their name to the legendary [[Anarkali]], a courtesan in the court of [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] Emperor [[Akbar]]. According to the legend, she was murdered for her illicit relationship with Crown Prince Salim, who later became Emperor [[Jahangir]].<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.dawn.com/news/694833/legend-anarkali-myth-mystery-and-history| url-status = live| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121214014845/http://dawn.com/2012/02/12/legend-anarkali-myth-mystery-and-history| archive-date = 2012-12-14| title = Legend: Anarkali: myth, mystery and history {{!}} DAWN.COM}} </ref> The word anarkali translates to the "delicate bud of the pomegranate flower/tree." This name signifies the qualities of softness, vulnerability, innocence, and beauty associated with the women who wore anarkalis. This dress is generally worn by [[Kathak]] dancers. With the development, the mid-length and floor-length anarkali became popular. It is known for its long, flowing [[kurtas]] that beautifully complement every woman's look.<br />
