History
editRamseen is a very ancient village which currently exists as a town and sub-tehsil. According to mythological belief, Lord Rama, while going towards Chitrakoot during his fourteen years of exile, had rested for the night here, due to which the place was named as Ramchayan, being a disfigurement of Ramasayaana, Ramsen and then later Ramseen.
Ramseen has a very ancient temple of Lord Shiva known as Apeshwar Mahadev which is situated on the east side of the river passing through the middle of the village.
