===Story of King Ajmal===
===Story of King Ajmal===
As per folklore, King Ajmal Tanwar, a descendant of [[Anangpal Tomar II]] of Delhi, was the king of [[Pokaran]]. His wife, Rani Mainaldevi, was the daughter of the king of [[Jaisalmer]]. After becoming the king of Pokhran, Ajmal had only two daughters, Lasa and Saguna. One day the king was on a tour of his kingdom. It was monsoon, yet the kingdom had not received any rainfall. On his tour, the king met a few farmers who were on their way to their farms to sow seeds. On seeing the king, they began to return to their homes. Surprised at this act, the king asked farmers the reason for their behavior. When assured that no harm would come to them if they told the truth, the farmers told the king that they believed that seeing a barren king's face while on their way to their fields might cause their crops to fail. Ajmal was very sad upon hearing this. Being a devotee of Krishna, the king decided to go to the lord's palace in [[Dvārakā|Dwarika]].{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}
Ajmal arrived at [[Dwarka]] and prayed for many days. Ultimately, in sheer disappointment, he asked [[Krishna]]'s image the reason for deserving such sorrow. The image did not respond to the king's repeated queries. Angered and enraged at this, the king threw a dried laddu at the head of the image. The priest of the temple, considering the king to be mad, asked the king to go to the mystic Dwaraka to speak to the Lord. Dwaraka, swallowed by the sea many centuries prior, lay on the bed of the [[Arabian Sea]]. The unfearing king dived into the sea to meet the Lord. Pleased at the king's dedication and faith, the Lord granted him a boon. The king asked for Krishna to be born as his son. Lord promised to come in the king's house. Soon thereafter, the royal couple gave birth to the boy, whom they named Bhiramdev. After a few years, Krishna took a small form and appeared next to Bhiramdev.<ref>[http://www.ramapir.org/ramapir_incarnation.html Why Hindus Believe Ramdevpir to be The Incarnation of Lord Krishna?] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110903172629/http://www.ramapir.org/ramapir_incarnation.html|date=3 September 2011}}</ref> 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 [[Pir (Sufism)|Pirs]] from [[Mecca]] came to test Ramdev's powers. Ramdev welcomed them, and requested them to have lunch with him. The Pirs declined, saying that they ate only with their personal utensils, which were in [[Mecca]].

Apart from Rajasthan, Ramdev has a strong Hindu following in Kathiawar and Kutch in Gujarat.
''Mys''tical festival called '''''Mandap''''' is also held in villages across Kathiawar to worship him. The highlight of the festival is an event in which a long (almost 60 feet or more in height) wooden log, called the [[Stambha]], is decorated and laid on the ground with a loose base, with eight ropes tied to it from eight directions. Several rites and rituals are performed for about a month. At a certain time and date, the Stambha stands up. The eight ropes are loosely tied in eight nails that are driven in the ground. [[Lakh]]s of devotees flock this festival of ''Mandap'' to have a [[darshana]] of the event. The Stambha stands erect for exactly a day and returns to its original position 24 hours later. It is believed that Ramdev himself appears in the Stambha.<ref>{{cite book|title=Journeys to Freedom: Dalit Narratives By Fernando Franco, Jyotsna Macwan, Suguna Ramanathan|year=2004|pages=234–36|isbn=9788185604633|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bzj1pyBKZzsC&q=ramdevji+mandap+festival&pg=PA234|last1=Kuortti|first1=Joel|last2=Vālmīki|first2=Omaprakāśa}}</ref>

===Legend===
 
According to a legend, about 150 years ago, a man of the Khatri community of Tando Allahyar took a vow that if he was blessed with a son, he would arrange ''mela'' (fair) of Rama Pir. His wish was fulfilled. The man brought an earthen lamp from the original temple of Rama Pir in Rajasthan to Tando Allahyar and built a temple. During the ''mela,'' people carry flags in their hands and recite b''hajans'' whole night sitting outside the city, and early in the morning at 5:00 AM they hoist the Dhaja (flag) at the temple by dancing on the beat of drums and trumpets. Thousands of devotees travel on foot to pay homage to Rama Pir. Although Ramdev was cremated in Rajasthan, he had come to Tando Allahyar and his devotees had constructed a temple in his memory at the place where he had worshiped as far back as 1800. Since then, a fair is held at the Rama Pir temple by his devotees every year.<ref>By Ramesh Kumar (Ravi) Meghwar, Tando Allahyar +92-300-3322811.</ref> There is also a temple of Ramdev Pir in [[Chelhar]], Sindh, Pakistan. It is thought that the horse of Baba Ramdev Pir used to feed and rest up there.

==Folklore==


One day, young Ramdev wanted to play with a toy horse. His father gave a toymaker sandalwood and new cloth to make a wooden horse. The toymaker, however, stole most of the new cloth for his wife, and made the wooden horse from a piece of old cloth, with only a cover from new cloth. When Ramdev sat on the horse it began to fly and disappeared into the sky along with the child. Ramdev's parents got angry with the toymaker and imprisoned him. Shortly afterward, Ramdev came back along with the horse and accused the toymaker of cheating. The toymaker confessed his crime and begged for forgiveness. Ramdev forgave him and accepted the horse. Wooden toy horses covered with cloth are among the most popular offerings at the temples dedicated to him.{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}
