Answer 1

It appears that the moguls built the place so I presume that it would be the first name.

The city of Indraprastha (City of Indra) (Sanskrit: इन्‍द्रप्रस्‍थ), a major northern city in ancient India that was the capital of the kingdom led by the Pandavas in the Mahabharata epic. It was located upon the banks of the river Yamuna and close to the modern national capital of Delhi

Delhi has been the capital of several ancient Indian empires and a major city along the old trade routes between northwest India and the Indo-Gangetic Plains. It is the site of many ancient and medieval monuments, archaeological sites and remains. The Mughal emperor Shahjahan built the city, now known as &quot;Old Delhi&quot;, to serve as the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1649 to 1857.

Answer 2

The city of Indraprastha,  a major northern city in ancient India  was the capital of the kingdom led by the Pandavas in the Mahabharata epic. It was located upon the banks of the river Yamuna and close to the modern national capital of Delhi.

Indraprastha is said to be 5,000 years old. Legend suggests that Indraprastha once stood where Purana Qila is today. A village called Indrapat existed in Delhi until the beginning of the 20th century; the village was levelled and the British city of New Delhi was made upon it. The excavations of the ancient mound of Indraprastha, capital of the Pandavas, located within Purana Qila revealed evidence of continuous habitation of the site for almost 2,500 years.
