This re-version of the romantic Indian folk tale has a dancer entombed alive as punishment for her sexual relationship with the prince. In the original story the dancer dies but here she manages to escape and goes on to rescue the prince. That universal female emblem, the Earth, opens itself to Anarkali and allows her passage through its soil and rock, to freedom.
