Ramdevra Mandir – Guide
Ramdevra Mandir is a sacred temple of the folk deity (lokdevata) of Rajasthan – Baba Ramdevji. It is located 12 km from Pokhran on Jodhpur to Jaisalmer Road. It is believed that Baba Ramdevji took samadhi in Ramdevra in 1459 AD. After this Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner got the temple built around his tomb. This temple is the eternal resting place of 14th century saint Baba Ramdevji. One of the main attractions near the temple complex is the pond built by Baba Ramdev known as Ramsagar pond.
History of Ramdevra Mandir
The Ramdevra Mandir is dedicated to Ramdevji Baba, a Rajput who was born in the Tomar Rajput family in the late 14th century. Ramdevji renounced his materialistic life and accepted the title of saint very early in his life for the service of mankind. History says that he killed a demon and performed many miracles. At the age of 33, Baba Ramdevji took samadhi to consciously exit his mortal body.
The Ramdevra Mandir was built in the early 1900s by Maharaja Ganga Singh, the king of Jodhpur and Bikaner, at the exact spot where Baba took samadhi. Ever since Ramdevji dedicated his life for the welfare of his people, it was believed that he was an incarnation of Lord Krishna and also a divine being for the Muslim community.
