Ramnagar
two towns of India: (1) a town of the Northwestern Provinces; on the right bank of the Ganges, 2 miles above Benares. It contains a palace, the residence of the rajah of Benares, which rises from the banks of the sacred stream by a number of fine ghåts or flights of stairs. There is a fort, and whips and wicker-work chairs are manufactured. (2) A town of the RAMPANT Punjab, on the Chenab river, 28 miles N. W. of Gujranwala. It was a place of great importance in the 18th century, being then known as Rasulnagar, but was stormed by the Sikhs under Ranjit Singh in 1795, and its name changed to Ramnagar. The inhabitants make leathern vessels. A large fair is held here every April.
