Ramnagar Fort, Fortification on Ganges River eastern bank in Ramnagar, India.
The sandstone fort contains a garden leading to a palace complex with traditional Indian architectural elements and defensive fortifications.
Built in 1750 by Maharaja Balwant Singh, the fort remains the residence of the Maharaja of Benares and his family.
During the month-long Ram Lila festival, the fort grounds host performances of Ramayana episodes that conclude with Dussehra celebrations.
Located 14 kilometers from central Varanasi, the fort is accessible through the Ramnagar bridge and opens daily for visitors.
The Saraswati Bhawan museum displays an astronomical clock from 1852 that shows time, dates, and celestial movements.
