After the Pandavas arrived at Khandavaprastha, they selected an auspicious land and performed sacred rituals in order to purify the land with the help of Vyasa and Krishna.
After the purification of the land, the city was measured properly and they began planning the capital. The artisans, craftsmen, and architects designed the roads, palaces, gardens, and mansions. The city was built according to royal traditions.
The city was soon filled with grand palaces, gardens, and lakes, making it look beautiful and radiant like heaven. Therefore, the city came to be known as “Indraprastha” in reference to the celestial city of Lord Indra.
