Ramnagar Fort

Ramnagar Fort
Ramnagar Fort is a fort in Uttar Pradesh, India. The fort and its museum are the repository of the history of the kings of Benares and since the 18th century has been the home of Kashi Naresh.
The Ramnagar Fort was built by Kashi Naresh Raja Balwant Singh with creamy chunar sandstone in the eighteenth century. It is a typically Mughal style of architecture with carved balconies, open courtyards, and picturesque pavilions. The current king and the resident of the fort is Anant Narayan Singh.
A rare collection of manuscripts, especially religious writings, is housed in Saraswati Bhawan. It includes a precious handwritten manuscript by Goswami Tulsidas. There are also many books illustrated in the Mughal miniature style, with beautifully designed covers.
Recently Ramnagar has emerged as a favorite spot for shooting movies because of the scenic location of the Ramnagar Fort near the Ganges. Chokher Bali is one of the popular movies shot here.
