On Baba Ramdev's birth anniversary, thousands of devotees flocked to the Khundiyavas temple near the Ajmer‑Nagaur border, taking part in Panchamrit abhishek and special decorations.
Khundiyavas, a small settlement on the Ajmer‑Nagaur border in Rajasthan, became a focal point of devotion on the occasion of Baba Ramdev's birth anniversary. Devotees from across the state arrived in large numbers, turning the modest shrine into a bustling hub of religious activity.
The temple organizers performed a Panchamrit abhishek, bathing the deity in a mixture of milk, curd, honey, ghee and sugar, followed by a special alankar that highlighted the festive atmosphere. Throughout the day, the premises were packed with worshippers who offered prayers, sang bhajans and participated in communal rituals.
Locals refer to the site as “Mini Ramdevra,” drawing a parallel with the famous Ramdevra pilgrimage centre. The overwhelming turnout underscores the deep reverence for Baba Ramdev in the region and the growing popularity of the Khundiyavas shrine as a spiritual destination.
Authorities reported that crowd management measures were in place, and the event proceeded without any major incidents. The gathering reflects both the cultural significance of the saint and the community’s enthusiasm for celebrating his legacy.
