Abstract: We observed that India is one of the oldest countries in the world with its oldest heritage importance and the area that are developed around it. We have seen the vast range of structure from the oldest stone structure to the period of the welldeveloped cities. Early settlements were mainly occurred around the river and mainly the major structures were built for its religious purpose at the particular era. Ramtek is situated at the foothills of Ramgiri the last range of Satpuda mountain located at 45 kms on the North East of Nagpur in the vidarbha region of Maharashtra state of India. It has seen the history of hundreds of years since the early settlement of Jainas on the North Western foot of Ramgiri hills. With time it observed the settlements by different communities like hindus and muslims. Today, it is observed to be one of the major religious centre in Vidarbha for Hindus, Jainas, Muslims and Buddhists with sufficient percentage of other communities. All these Communities have developed their own areas with time they have got connected to each other and what we observe today is the small town connecting all the earlier traditional community settlements. The one of the oldest structure in Ramtek is Jain temple that was built at time of mourya period that was under Asoka. But with time its important was deflected and more importance is given to ram mandir. So how its importance can be main in the area by urban creation
