We went to the Red Fort in the middle-afternoon. If the building is beautiful, the environment was really disappointing.
The place is over-crowded: it is obviously the locals' playground coming to have a walk, take a rest on the grass and... take selfies with foreigners (about 60 for us) !
The main museum was totally incredible: one hundred people pushing in small corridors and taking pictures, half of the fans not working.
For a 500-INR individual entry fee, it was definitely under expectations.

Bihar Yoga Bharati is one of its kind...special...distinct...serene. It is the culmination of Swami Sivananda's vision and Swami Satyananda's practical insights.
The breadth and depth of yoga, that has academic and experiential sides, gently unfolds at this institution. Lying on banks of river Ganga, this institution imparts great truths of yoga, without negating any of its dimensions.
The spiritual masters who nurtured this institution, have left behind ample literature on philosophy, psychology, ecology, therapies, tantra. And as international interest in these subjects grows, this seat of learning will grow in prominence. By 2050, people may start to look upon it as Harvard University of Yoga!

Munger Fort, located at Munger (spelt as Monghyr during the British Raj), Bihar, India, is built on a rocky hillock on the south bank of the Ganges River. I understand it dates back to 14th century AD, though the town itself is said to since 4th century BC.
The Fort is actually a township surrounded by a moat and high walls with four gates, two of which are still intact. Also intact are parts of the moat and boundary wall. The moat is said to be connected to the River Ganges. However during my visit though the river was overflowing but there was no water in the moat, meaning the connection was now broken.
Now housing mostly governmental offices and residences of town officials, and a jail, the fort is hardly noticeable as fort, except for the two gates and the potion of the wall.
There is plenty of green vegetation, trees, shrubs and a few ponds in the premises. It looks and feels good to be there.
Unlike most historical remains in India, remnants of the fort (gates, walls, jail) are well-maintained, and painted. This is the redeeming feature of the place, especially beacause elsewhere in the northern parts of India, scant regard is paid to the country's archeological heritage.

Kastaharni Ghat is located on the Banks of Ganges on eastern side of Munger Fort. Is having lot of religious importance and witnessed large number of devotees. From the Ghat one can see the under construction Rail cum road Ganga Bridge. Local people believe that Lord Rama and Goddess Sita bathed at the site while returning to Ayodhya

This is very close to the bank of River Ganges, next to the Kashtharani Ghat. It is in a garden park which also has the remnants of an old palace.
One can see the ruins of the palace walls, and some structures said to be the Royal Ladies enclosure and a Bath (hammam).
However, the most salient feature is the Mir Qasim Tunnel which is said not to have been explored yet.
Local legend has it that some people did try to find out where the tunnels led to but the attempts were fatal. Information on the internet is severely limited.
I think it is a fit case to be taken up by a university of an archeological department for research.
