dhaulpur (Raj) - dhawalagiri / dhawalapura

Moghuls had this penchant for usurping Hindu towns, forts, buildings and islamizing the Hindu names.
During Akbar's reign, sIkarI became fatehpur
Shahjahanabad in Old Delhi and Shahjahanpur in UP
Akbarabad was how Agra was renamed
Jahangirabad/Bulandshehr UP
Aurangabad in Bihar/Mah
Moradabad UP

earlier moslem rulers were doing the same...

Ferozabad by Feroz shah tuglaq
Jaunpur by Jaunashah
Sikandrabad by Sikandar Lodhi
(all in UP. old Hindu names are lost and hard to trace)
