Are there any frameworks developed over Ruby on Rails

I would like to know is there any framework which uses Ruby on Rails framework beneath it.

Yes there are, for example Hobo (but do the world a favor and don't use it please). There are also other Rails-enhancing frameworks like Cells and Apotomo, and "generic controller" frameworks like inherited_resources and the (discontinued) resourcelogic (here you can read what the author of resourcelogic thinks about this kind of frameworks, and why he discontinued it).

The bottom line is: there are many frameworks that build on top of Rails, but you should be very careful when adopting them - Rails is a powerful (if not bloated) framework enough as it is, and in the long run those additions can slow you down instead of helping you.

There are a number of things built on Rails that act as frameworks for other applications, although at a different level. Here's two quick examples:

• Radiant CMS is a full-featured CMS
• Shopify is an ecommerce platform

There are many others. Some of these come as "kit" applications you customize, and others make use of the Rails engine system to serve as a very full-featured plug-in to any application.
