Meerut is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
It is an ancient city with settlements dating back to the Indus Valley civilization having been found in and around the area.
The city lies 70 km (43 mi) Northeast of the National capital New Delhi, and 453 km (281 mi) NorthWest of the state capital, Lucknow. The city may have derived its name from Maya Rashtra, the capital of the kingdom of Mayasura, Mandodari's father and Ravana's father-in-law. This name may have mutated to Mairashtra, Mai-dant-ka-khera, Mairaath and eventually Meerut.
According to another version, Maya(sura), being a distinguished architect, received from King Yudhisthira the land on which the city of Meerut now stands and he called this place Mayarashtra, a name which in the course of time became shortened to Meerut. Tradition also has it that the city formed a part of the dominions of Mahipala, the king of Indraprastha, and the word Meerut is associated with his name
