Tomb of Anarkali, Mughal monument in Lahore, Pakistan
The octagonal structure features a double dome supported by eight arches, with alternating sides measuring 44 feet and 30 feet in length.
Following its construction in 1615, the tomb underwent multiple transformations, serving as a church from 1851 to 1886 and later becoming a record office.
The marble cenotaph within displays intricate floral patterns and calligraphic inscriptions featuring the 99 names of Allah in Nastaliq script.
The building currently houses the Punjab Archives, with restoration work by WCLA beginning in 2024 to uncover original frescoes.
The tomb contains a Persian couplet by poet Saadi carved into white marble, expressing deep longing for a beloved.
