In a significant move to enhance the visual appeal and cultural heritage of the historic Ram Kund area, the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has announced a façade improvement initiative along the Ram Kal Path. The civic body plans to allocate ₹23 crore towards upgrading the external appearance of nearly 250 privately owned and government buildings situated along the route.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to revitalize the Ram Kund corridor, a major religious and tourist attraction in the city. By focusing on structural facades, the project aims to create a cohesive aesthetic that reflects the region’s architectural character and heritage. The proposed improvements will include uniform designs, paintwork, lighting, and repair work, all intended to harmonize with the spiritual and historical significance of the location.
According to municipal officials, the work will be carried out in close coordination with property owners and stakeholders to ensure minimal disruption. Special attention will be given to preserving heritage elements, with guidelines to ensure the integrity of original designs is maintained where possible.
The project is set to be implemented in phases, beginning with key structures near Ram Kund, extending towards Panchavati Karanja, and eventually covering the entire 2.6 – kilometer stretch. The NMC hopes the facelift will not only enhance the pilgrim experience but also boost tourism and support local businesses.
Detailed project reports and design proposals are currently under review, with tenders expected to be issued shortly. The corporation is optimistic that the upgraded façade will be completed in a timely manner, ahead of upcoming major religious gatherings.
