Ramgarh is a gram panchayat located in the Siswan block of Siwan district in the state of Bihar, India. The village is situated near the Daha River.
The history of the village is intrinsically linked to the legend of this ancient Shiva temple, which dates back to the 17th century. According to local legend, the temple's story begins with King Mahendra Vir Vikram Sahdeo of Nepal. The king was suffering from a skin disease and was on his way to Varanasi to bathe in the holy Ganges River for a cure. While passing through a dense forest (the site of present-day Siwan), he stopped to rest under a peepal tree. As he searched for water, he found a small ditch. When he washed his hands with the water, his disease was miraculously cured. That night, Lord Shiva appeared to the king in a dream and told him to excavate the area under the peepal tree and build a temple there. The king followed the divine instructions, and a shivalinga (a representation of Lord Shiva) was unearthed. He then built the temple on that very spot. He also had a large pond dug next to the temple, known as the 52 Beegha Pond, which is believed to have healing properties.
