Indraprastha
The first city of Delhi is believed to be founded by the legendary Pandavas of the Mahabharata around 1400 BC. It was called Indraprastha. Archaeological evidence suggests that Indraprastha once stood where Purana Quila is today. A village called Indarpat existed in Delhi until the beginning of the 19th century. The excavations of the ancient mound of Indraprastha, capital of the Pandavas, located within Purana Quila revealed evidence of continuous habitation of the site for almost 2500 years.
