🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA🇮🇳
==========================

Meerut is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The name Meerut , properly spelled Merath or Mirath, is variously derived. According to one account it was originally known as Mahi Rashtra, the name given to it by one Mahi, a distinguished architect, who built a palace at Indraprashta or Dehli, in exchange for which he received the land on which Meerut now stands from the king Yudhishthira. This Mahi is said to have built the Andar Kot, a high brick fortress , the remains of which are still (1904 ) traceable .

The JATs on the other hand, allege that Meerut was founded as Mayarashtra (lit. Maya’s country) by Maya, who was the father of Mandodari, Ravana’s wife in the Ramayana. Meerut was the capital of Maya. Thus the city is also known as ‘Ravan Ka Sasural’ literally meaning “Ravana’s wife’s home”.
