Would recommend verifying that you can authenticate to mysql using this user:
mysql -u drupal -p drupal
Assuming of course that the database name and user name are both drupal. Check to see if you can log in to the database.
Did you use this user name and password when running the database.sql installation script? Were there errors?
To verify the settings.php line should be
$db_url = 'mysql://drupal:123456@localhost/drupal';
Based on the information you've sent.
Another longshot is that you might consider changing the password to alpha-numeric. An all numeric password shouldn't be a problem, but I've seen stranger things happen with a API's before.

Dear Mr. Jason, Thank you for your mail. I changed the setting as per your instructions, but still the same problem. Access denied for user 'drupal'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Please suggest.

Did you change your sites/default/settings.php file on line 81 to
reflect
your database setup?
It would be something like: $db_url = 'mysql://username:123456@localhost/drupal';
Also, since you have it running in a subdirectory, make sure your line
90
of the same file is correct.
It would look something like: $base_url = 'http://www.raunharman.co.in/drupal';
