Abstract :

Hastinapur is full of mysteries since the Mahabharata period. This secret never came in light. The mystery of Mahabharata period did not open completely from Hastinapur, but it became apparent that Hastinapur was time to time devastated and settled. The Great Flood in the Mahabharata era, described in the Puranas, was certified by Hastinapur excavation. In 1950–52 Dr. B.B. Lal excavated at Ulta Khera mound in Hastinapur and fixed 5 period stratas. In this excavation, it was found that Hastinapur was declined several times and many times resumption began. Evidence from pre 1200 BC to early 15th century AD has been received in Hastinapur. The highest evidence has been obtained in excavation from the Kushan Period. After 70 years of excavation, we obtained the coins of Kushan Dynasty Kings Huvishka, Vasudeva and Kanishka II. Coins of Huvishka and Kanishka II are obtained first time in the history of Hastinapur from Ulta Khera Mound
