Geography & terrain

Ramnagar lies in the Varanasi district of Uttar Pradesh, 15 km from Varanasi and 300 km from Lucknow — the fort town of the region, its 1750 palace, the vintage museum and the Ganges edge set on the river's east bank.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1750 royal era — the fort town of the 1750 palace and the seat of the Kashi Naresh, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Varanasi circuit and the home of the 1750-era Durga temple and the vintage car museum and the 1910s-era library; the town's history of the 1950 royal era decline and the wrestling arena and the Ganges views, gives Ramnagar its fort-town character.
