In the heart of the Quila is perhaps the oldest structure in the property—the temple of Thakurdwara dedicated to Krishna. The rest of the mansion might have been restored, but the temple has been left largely untouched. There are paintings of Krishna’s life and intricate mirror-work adorning the ancient walls.
Just across the temple is the Barotta—this tree, right outside the Diwan Khana, is over 300 years old and was planted when the founders of Ramgarh first set up camp in the area. They used a small sampling to hold up their barricades, which over the years has grown into a massive banyan tree.
It’s these little nuggets of history hidden within the luxurious walls of Ramgarh Heritage that make it special. The fresh paint on ancient walls hides nothing. In fact, it opens Ramgarh up for those curious to step a few centuries back in time.
