Ramtek Darshan

Ramtek Temple

A Spiritual Summit

Ramtek gets its name from Lord Rama who, with Sita and Laxmana, is said to have rested here. The taluka, which is situated along the north and north-eastern areas of Nagpur District, covering an area of 1129 sq. miles, is famous for its Ram Mandir and the Kalidas memorial to the celebrated play wright, which grace the top of a hill. Fascinating aspect to the place is that the stones of the hill, when newly fractured, take on a bloodred colour in sunlight, apparently reflecting the blood of the demon Hiranyya Kashapu when he was slain by Lord Vishnu in the avatar of Narsimha. Legend has it that, after his victory. Lord Vishnuthrew his cudgel down with such force that it made a crater which now forms the Ambala tank at the foot of the hill. Around the tank are a number of temples, including two to Narsimha as well as a  number of Jain ones. A trip to Ramtek, especially during the Ramnavami festival, will prove a uniquely fascinating journey, where history, geography, and spirituality blend seamlessly to provide an unforgettable travel experience.
