Explanation:
Sonipat is a city and a Municipal Corporation in Haryana state of India. It comes under the National Capital Region and is around 44 kilometres (27 mi) from Delhi. It is also around 214 km(128 miles) southwest of Chandigarh, the state capital. The Yamuna River runs along the eastern boundary.
On 22 December 1972, Sonipat has created a full-fledged district. It lies on Delhi Western Peripheral Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway (NE II) and Grand Trunk Road (NH 44) as well as the planned Delhi–Sonipat–Panipat Regional Rapid Transit System and it is also connected by the under implementation Delhi Metro extension of Yellow line to be completed in Phase IV by March 2022.
According to legend, Sonipat was earlier known as Sonprastha, which later on became Swarnprastha (lit. 'Golden City').[6][7] Later, the name Swarnprastha changed into Swarnpath, and then to its current form, Sonipat.
Reference to the city comes in the epic Mahabharata as Swarnprastha. It was one of the five Prastha demanded by Pandavas as the price of peace from Duryodhan in lieu of the kingdom Hastinapur. The other four Prastha were Panprastha (Panipat), Baghprastha (Baghpat), Tilprastha (Faridabad) and Indraprastha
