I examined the trajectory using VMD and noted that ligand had come out of
the binding site and is running around.
How is this possible? I have used the guidelines in mdtutorials.com to set
up the system.
However it's worth noting that there was a power failure around the same
time (23ns) and I had to restart MD with append command.
Could this have had an affect on MD? Do I have to recreate trajectory file
after restarting MD, instead of using the default trajectory?

I imagine it's possible that the power failure caused a corruption in some file, and it's too much of a coincidence that just when the power failed, your simulation changed radically. I would re-run it.

Also note that a ligand can dissociate from the binding site if the topology is not well parametrized, leading to insufficiently strong interactions. You shouldn't likely encounter such a problem if you get a reasonable CGenFF topology, but it's worth noting as a general problem with any ligand parametrization.

I got following when I analysed Ligand RMSD protein backbone as east
square
fit.
Graph <https://photos.app.goo.gl/JZJaLt1BxJi1qgwV7>
Can you please comment why there's high fluctuation after like 23 ns?
What could this mean?
Watch the trajectory and see what is going on. Make sure you've properly
re-imaged to account for PBC effects.
