Ramdevra is a village which is situated about 12 km to the
north of Pokhran in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan in India.
The village is named after Baba Ramdevji, a Tanwar Rajput and
a saint who took Samādhi in 1384 CE, at the age of 33 years.
Bhagvan Ramdevji Maharaj took samadhi (conscious exit from the
mortal body.) in 1459 AD. Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner
founded a temple around the samadhi in 1931 AD.
Near the village, there is a tank known as Ramsar tank which
is believed to have been constructed by Baba Ramdevji himself.
A large step well, the Parcha Baori is also situated nearby
the temple.
A large fair known as Ramdevera Fair is held here from Bhado
Sudi 2 to Bhadon Sudi 11 (Aug - Sept). It is attended by a
large number of devotees who come in large groups from far and
wide. Irrespective of their caste, creed or religious
affiliations, these devotees throng the shrine dedicated to
the saint. These groups organise night long singing of bhajans
and kirtans to pay homage to Baba. |
