The village of Ramdevra in Jaisalmer, located nearly 12 kilometers to the north of Pokaran, is named after Baba Ramdev. Baba Ramdev was a Tanwar Rajput and a saint who took Samadhi, which means conscious exit from the mortal body, during 1458 AD. The saint possessed miraculous powers and his fame was far-reached. As the legend goes, five Pirs from Mecca came to the village to test Baba Ramdev’s power and later paid their reverence to him after being convinced of his powers. Since then, Muslims also respect Baba Ramdev as Ram Shah Pir, while Hindus consider him as a reincarnation of Lord Krishna.
