Ramtek is about 57-km from Nagpur
it is believed that the holy feet of Lord Ram and Sita, his consort graced
this place and hence it was named Ramtek. It is one of the important
pilgrim centres of Maharashtra. There is a temple
dedicated to Lord Ram, Sita and Laxman on the top of the hill. This land
has been mentioned as Ramgiri, in Meghdootam, one of the fascinating works
