About

Ramgram is located about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from the Mahendra Highway, the arterial roadway of Nepal (connected through the Sunwal Municipality). The roadway is also called Tanka Prasad Acharya Marga. Jeeps and buses run through this roadway from the Sunwal Jeep Station. It is also connected through a highway, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from Bumahi, a small town connected to Mahendra Highway.

Ramgram's population is mainly Hindu, but it is also an important place for Buddhists because it is the location of Ramagrama stupa; the stupa, which was constructed around 2500 BCE, contains one of the relics of Buddha. Every year, about 7,000 tourists visit the stupa.

3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southwest of the Ramgram stupa is another temple known as Pali Bhagvati Temple, which is dedicated to Durga Goddess. There is a small river known as Jharahi. The place is situated in Ujaingadha, now known as Ujaini. It is also known as the maternal house of Gautam Buddha.
