Pujas in Ramnagar
A town across the Ganga from Varanasi, known for Ramnagar Fort and its traditional Ramlila.
About the area
Ramnagar
Ramnagar lies on the eastern bank of the Ganga, across the river from the main city of Varanasi. It is best known for Ramnagar Fort, the historic residence of the former rulers of Banaras, and for its long-running traditional Ramlila held around Dussehra.
Beyond the fort, Ramnagar is a town of its own, with older family homes, markets and newer residential areas. It feels more open and less crowded than the city across the river.
Rituals families seek here
Families in Ramnagar hold the same household rites as the rest of Varanasi, Satyanarayan Puja, Griha Pravesh, Vastu Shanti and sanskars such as mundan and namkaran, often with more space for relatives to gather in a courtyard or on open ground.
The Ramlila season gives the town a strongly devotional atmosphere, and many households mark it with Ram-centred readings such as Sundarkand path. Independent houses in Ramnagar also make it easier to host a larger havan than in city apartments.
Practical notes
- Ramnagar is reached by road across the river; allow extra travel time from the ghats and central Varanasi.
- Share your exact location in advance, as Pandits may be travelling from the city side.
- Traffic can build up during the Ramlila and Dussehra period.
- Independent houses and courtyards make larger havans and family gatherings easier.
- For rituals that need the Ganga, the Pandit can advise whether to go to a ghat on the city side.
