A silent film adaptation of the popular, yet legendary, tragic romance between Mughal Prince Salim (the future Emperor Jahangir) and the courtesan Anarkali. Their forbidden love incurs Emperor Akbar's wrath, leading to Anarkali's legendary punishment of being walled up alive. This pioneering film is considered lost.
