History

The Anarkali station was opened after the completion and inauguration of the Orange Line on 25 October 2020.[1]^[2] The construction of the station is reported to have displaced a large number of people, and caused damage to a number of community and heritage sites.^[3]

The Anarkali station serves the

Prince Salīm, who later became Emperor Jahāngīr.^[4]

Its design is inspired by Islamic and Mughal architecture which have helped in transforming the station building into a landmark in the city centre.
