About this listen
In this episode of the Did You Know series with Amish Tripathi, we take you on a thrilling journey across India—tracing real-world locations mentioned in the Mahabharata, one of the greatest epics of all time.
Did you know that Hastinapur, the capital of the Kuru dynasty, still exists near modern-day Meerut? Or that Indraprastha, the Pandavas' grand palace city, is believed to be where Delhi’s Purana Qila now stands? From Gandhara in present-day Afghanistan to Panchala in UP, and even ancient kingdoms stretching into Assam, Tamil Nadu, and Rajasthan, every corner of Bharatvarsha holds echoes of the Mahabharata.
Discover where Draupadi was born, where Shakuni’s dice changed history, where Arjuna meditated, and where the great war of Kurukshetra took place. This is not just a legend—it’s living history, written into the very soil of India.
Whether you’re a history buff, a Mahabharata lover, or just curious about India’s cultural roots—this episode will open your eyes to how deeply the epic is embedded in our land.
