Ramkot

Ramkot is the site of the ancient Rama’s Fort that stands on an elevated ground in the western part of the city. This is the same place where Lord Rama was bestowed with the kingdom and kinship of 'Koshala'. Pilgrims throughout the year frequent the place.

It attracts devotees from all over the world on “RamNavami”, the day of the birth of Rama. Ram Navami is celebrated with great pomp and show in the Hindu month of Chaitra, which falls between March and April.

On the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami many cultural programs are held and the Ramkot Temple is profusely decorated.

The temple offers panoramic views of the entire city, including a bird's eye view of its marvelous temples and scenic ghats. Legend has it that this citadel was guarded by Lord Hanuman from a secret cave.
