Delhi is the emblem of India’s past and present. It
is almost 3000 years old, great Pandavas of the Mahabharata
ruled their domain (from 1000BC to 4 AD) near the river Yamuna
close to old delhi in the Aravalli region. It was then known
as Indraprastha centered around the old fort. To the north,
south and west of it were the Aravalli mountains and river
Yamuna with turbulent flow lay the east. Annals from farther
past have gone unrecorded. However, writings of Ptolemy of
the 2nd century referred to the maurya rulers who built Delhi
city on the Trunk route. An old Aryan civilization flourished
with delhi as its base. Time has changed. With it Indraprastha
has become New delhi. Not only the name, but the ruling came
from other parts of the world and ruled the country centering
their capital at delhi. The Surya Kund of delhi (now in Haryana
remainds as the memento of Rajput Kings.
