Baba Ramdevji is a 14th-century saint revered by both Hindus and Muslims as a symbol of religious harmony.
The village is historically known as Undu-Kashmir, not to be confused with the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
The deity is often identified by his horse, Leela, frequently depicted in iconography found throughout the temple premises.
Ramdev Janmsthali is the identified birthplace of the 14th-century folk deity Baba Ramdevji, located in the village of Undu-Kashmir in the Barmer district. The site marks the location where the saint was born, distinguishing it from the primary pilgrimage site in Ramdevra. Devotees visit this location to pay homage to the saint's origins, which are deeply rooted in local desert folklore. The complex is constructed in a traditional Rajasthani architectural style, utilizing local stone materials. It serves as a spiritual site for the Meghwal community and other followers of Baba Ramdevji across the Thar region. The facility includes areas dedicated to prayer, communal reflection, and the observation of local religious rituals.
