Ramgarh crater, Meteor impact crater in Baran district, India.

The circular depression spans 3.5 kilometers in diameter with a raised rim and central plain situated 260 meters above sea level.

Geologist Frederick Richard Mallet discovered the site in 1869, leading to its recognition as an impact crater by the Geological Society of London in 1960.

The Bhand Deva Temple, constructed in the 10th century following Khajuraho architectural style, stands at the center of this geological formation.

The crater lies 40 kilometers north of Baran city, 110 kilometers east of Kota, and connects to major transportation routes including the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.

Scientific analysis of rock samples revealed high concentrations of iron, nickel, and cobalt, indicating the site's extraterrestrial impact origin.
