The Ram temples complex of Ramtek is the largest group of temples on the Ramagiri hill inside the Ramtek fort, Maharashtra. It is inspired by the Hindu epic Ramayana, and has shrines for many of the central characters in the epic (Rama, Sita, Lakshmana). The complex also has shrines to other Hindu deities. The temples have Nagara Hindu architecture of the Yadav era (8th to 13th century), as well as restorations and additions from the Maratha Bhonsle era (post 17th-century). It is the Marathas who added four rings of fort walls around this complex to help protect this site given the targeting of major Hindu pilgrimage sites by the Mughal army.
The Ram mandir complex has many Hindu artwork panels. These are scenes from the Ramayana, Vishnu legends, Vedic legends along with some from the Shiva and Devi traditions of Hinduism. The most notable monuments at the Ram mandir site include the three storey Gokula Darwaza in pratoli architecture tradition of Hinduism, the plain Laksmana temple with black color Laksmana statue, the plain Rama temple with white color Rama statue, and the stone tank named Sitasnanasthala for Sita. This complex shows the Hemadpanthi style of temples from the Yadav era at its core, restored and expanded by the Marathas.
