Spot Where Indraprastha Was Built In Delhi

I have been checking the Geographical locations mentioned in the Mahabharata to validate (already validated, I am cross checking).

I had earlier posted an article on Indraprastha, based on the Adi Parva of Mahabharata with comparison to Roman cities.

In this search I stumbled into an article which had indicated the exact spot where Indraprastha was built in Delhi.

It is the Purana Qila, The Old Fort of Humayun,

The Fort was mentioned by Abdul Fazil in Ain-I-Akbari.

A riot ensued and even Krishna was attacked by his Clan.

His Chariot was dragged into the sea, so were His Panchyutas, which went perambulated Lord Krishna clock-wise and disappeared.

From the Balaram’s face a Serpent came out and entered Heavens and Balram was no more

Lord Krishna lay under a tree and was taking rest.

The hunter who had the iron tip in his arrow , from a distance saw, thought he saw a Deer and sent in his arrow.

It struck Krishna and he left His Mortal Coil.
