Ramnagar

Ramnagar lies in the northern Champaran country, near the forested foothills of Nepal. Its ruling estate was a neighbour of the much larger Bettiah Raj. By 1765, when the East India Company acquired the diwani, the Bettiah family held most of Champaran, while the Ramnagar Raj retained a smaller part. The two estates stood among the landed powers through which the fertile country of northern Bihar was governed.
