In a Ramdevra village, there are only two main attractions. One of them is this Ramdevra Temple.This temple is famous for Baba Ramdev Pir, a ruler of fourteenth century, said to have miraculous powers who devoted his life for the up liftment of downtrodden and poor people of the society. A large fair known as Ramdevera Fair is held here from Bhado Sudi 2 to Bhado Sudi 10 (Aug - Sept). It is attended by a large number of devotees irrespective of their caste or religious.
