Hastinapur: flood, Karna temple and Pandeshwar

Popular

The epic itself records Hastinapur's flood and the move to Kaushambi.

The Mahabharata says the Ganga washed away part of Hastinapura under Nichakshu, who moved to Kaushambi; Lal found an erosional scar around 800 BCE. Locals show a Pandeshwar temple (Yudhishthira's linga) and a Karna temple. Jains link it to three Tirthankaras.

Who: Nichakshu, Yudhishthira, Karna

Places: Hastinapur, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Kaushambi
