Ramkot is named after the Hindu deity, Rama. A local legend says that Rama spent a few days in Ramkot during exile and left behind a piece of his clothing,[3] while another describes how Rama constructed a building to store his weapons, named Kot (house of keeping weapons). Sitapaila, an adjacent village, is named after Sita, Rama's wife, who is said to have visited the settlement.
Location
Dandapauwa
Dandapauwa (डाँडापौवा) (27°43′N85°16′E / 27.717°N 85.267°E / 27.717; 85.267) is a ward of Ramkot that borders Taufical, Fasku, Puldol, JayantiGaun, and Gotamthok. The Manamati and Kolpini rivers flow through Dandapauwa, part of the district of Kathmandu.[4]
Most of the population engage in agriculture so local tunnels are often built for farming. A grain factory, noodle factory, bitumen factory, and a pharmacy operate in the region. However, the tobacco factory was closed in 2013[when?] due to extreme pollution emissions.
Small-scale companies can also be found. Financial companies include Kotasya Bhairab and Shyameshwor[clarification needed], named after local temples.
