| Delhi, the capital of India, goes back to the times of Mahabharata when the Kauravas and the Pandavas fought for the city of Indraprastha (old name of Delhi). The Pandavas founded their capital Indraprastha in this region known as Khandava-Prastha. The excavations of Indraprastha located in the sixteenth century Purana Qila shows evidence of continuous habitation for almost 2500 years. |
