Ramdev Pir(Hindi: रामदेव पीर) or Baba Ramdev(Hindi: बाबा रामदेव)(or Ramdevji, Ramdeo Pir,Ramsha Pir)(1352- 1385 AD)(V.S. 1409-1442) is a Hindu folk deity of Rajasthan in India. He was a ruler of fourteenth century, said to have miraculous powers who devoted his life for the upliftment of downtrodden and poor people of the society. He is worshiped today by many social groups of India as Ishta-deva.

Ramdev is considered to be an incarnation of Vishnu. King Ajmal(Ajaishinh) married Queen Minaldevi, daughter of Pamji Bhati of Chhahan Baru village. The childless king went to Dwaraka and pleaded with Krishna about his wish to have child like him. They had two sons, Viramdev and the younger Ramdev. Ramdev was born on Bhadarva Shukla Dooj in V.S. 1409 at Ramderiya, Undu and Kashmir in Barmer district. Ramdevji was a Tanwar.

Muslims venerate Ramdev as Ramshah Pir or Rama Shah Peer. He was said to have had miraculous powers and his fame reached far and wide. Legend has it that five Pirs from Mecca came to test Ramdev's powers. Ramdev after initial welcoming requested them to have lunch with him. But Pirs said they eat in their personal utensils, which are lying in Mecca, so they cannot have their meals. On this, Ramdev smiled and said look your utensils are coming and they saw that their eating bowls were coming flying in air from Mecca. After being convinced of his abilities and powers, they paid their homage to him and named him Rama Shah Peer. The five Pirs, who came to test his powers, were so overwhelmed by his powers that they decided to stay with him and Samadhi of these five are also near Samadhi of Ramdev.
