Identify the present state where 'Indraprastha' has roughly been located.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Delhi
Indraprastha is shown on the map of early states and their capitals beside the Kuru region, near Ahichchhatra and Mathura; that area lies in present-day Delhi.
Note: The map of early states and their capitals in the NCERT book (2026-27) shows where Indraprastha lay, but the book does not name the present-day state. Indraprastha is generally identified with a site in present-day Delhi. This is explained here for the benefit of the students.
