Aftermath
After the Pandavas were banished by the Kauravas into forest, Indraprastha fell into the hands of Kaurava crown prince Duryodhana. Later when Pandavas defeated the Kauravas in Kurukshetra War, and king Yudhisthira, ascended the throne of Hastinapura once again, his brother Arjuna stayed at Indraprastha, with Krishna, his friend and teacher, and looked after the matters of boarders of the kingdom. When Pandavas renounced the kingdom and went into forest as ascetics, Arjuna's grandson Parikshit was installed king of Hastinapura and Yuyutsu son of King Dhritarashtra, was installed as the king of Indraprasta. King Vajra, Krishna's great grandson is named ruler of the Yadavas and he and the tribe were instated in Indraprastha after the destruction of Dwarka. Parikshit's son king Janamejaya was mentioned as ruling the kingdom from Hastinapura.
Hindu monarch Raja Dhilu is said to have founded the ancient city of Delhi close to Indraprastha.
