Rüdiger BenninghausThe village of Ramdevra (near the town of Pokhran, Jaisalmer district, Rajasthan, India) is home to the Shri Baba Ramdev Temple, the well-known pilgrimage centre for the founder of the village, a member of a Rajput dynasty from the 15th century. At the age of 33, he took samadhi (conscious exit from the mortal body) and became a saint who is revered by both Hindus and Muslims.<br> The temple itself was only built around the saint's tomb in 1931.<br> (February 2017)<br> (Foto: © Rüdiger Benninghaus)<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Wallfahrtsorte?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wallfahrtsorte</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pilgrimage_centers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pilgrimage_centers</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Heiligenverehrung?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Heiligenverehrung</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/veneration_of_saints?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#veneration_of_saints</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Hindus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hindus</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Muslims?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Muslims</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ramdevra?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ramdevra</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Rajasthan?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rajasthan</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Indien?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Indien</a>, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/India?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#India</a>
