Ramgarh crater, also known as Ramgarh structure, Ramgarh Dome and Ramgarh astrobleme,[1] 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.[1] 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.[2][3][4][5]
It is designated as a National Geological Monument.[6] 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. Kuno National Park, 50-60 km away, is accessible by multiple entry points via minor roads or NH6. The crater, on the western edge of the Kuno National Park, 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.
