HASTINAPUR

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 53 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HASTINAPUR , an ancient city of British India, in the Meerut
district
  of the United Provinces, lying on the bank of a former bed of the
Ganges
 , 22 M. N.E. of Meerut. It formed the
capital
  of the
great
  Pandava kingdom, celebrated in the Mahabharata, and probably one of the earliest Aryan settlements outside the Punjab. Tradition points to a
group
  of shapeless mounds as the residence of the Lunar princes of the
house
  of Bharata whose deeds are commemorated in the
great
 
national
  epic. After the conclusion of the famous war which forms the central episode of that poem, Hastinapur remained for some time the metropolis of the descendants of Parikshit, but the town was finally swept away by a flood of the
Ganges
 , and the
capital
  was transferred to Kausambi.
