“The old name of Delhi was Indraprastha. The city has a modern name Delhi. Even in Mahabharata, it has been mentioned as Indraprastha,” said Chakrapani.
He claimed, “A king during the Tomar era had installed an iron stick which was loos and people called it ‘Dhili’ (loose). Later on the place came to be referred to as ‘Dilli’ and then it became Delhi.”
“Indraprastha means the kingdom of lord Indra where everyone is living happily,” he said.— IANS
