HADOTI REGION REELS (12/30): India’s 🇮🇳 First Geo-Heritage Site in Rajasthan.
Ramgarh crater, also known as Ramgarh structure, Ramgarh Dome and Ramgarh astrobleme, is a meteor impact crater of 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) diameter in Kota plateau of Vindhya range located adjacent to Ramgarh village in Mangrol tehsil of Baran district in Rajasthan state of India. When formally accepted as the third crater in India, its diameter size would be between the two already confirmed craters in India - Dhala in Madhya Pradesh with 14 km diameter and Lonar in Buldhana district of Maharashtra with 1.8 km diameter.
It is designated as a National Geological Monument. The Bhand Deva Temple, a 10th-century Shiva temple in the style of the Khajuraho Group of Monuments, is located near the centre of the crater. The crater lies 40 km north of Baran, 60 km from Delhi Mumbai Expressway, 110 km east of Kota, 250 south of Jaipur and 500 km south of Delhi. It is 200 km west of Dhala crater in Madhya Pradesh and 745 km north of Lonar crater in Maharashtra.
Background: The crater is yet to be fully investigated in a systematic way. In 1869, crater was first visited by geologist Frederick Richard Mallet of Geological Survey of India (GSI). Rai Bahadur Kishan Singh Rawat (1850-1921), a colonial era Indian explorer and cartographer, was first to map it on a small scale (1 : 63,360).
