ndraprastha, the magnificent city of the Pandavas, was established as their capital after the division of the Kuru kingdom in the Mahabharata. Said to be built on the banks of the Yamuna River, Indraprastha was transformed from a barren land into a grand city with palaces, lush gardens, and advanced architecture, designed by the divine architect Vishwakarma. It played a crucial role in the epic, including being the site of the infamous dice game that led to the exile of the Pandavas. Believed to be located where modern-day Delhi stands, Indraprastha remains an important site in Indian mythology and history.
