RAS question

Ramdevji is also known as:

Correct answer: (B) Ramsa Peer / Baba Ramdev.

Ramdevji is also known as Ramsa Peer and Baba Ramdev.

  1. (A)

    Gogaji

  2. (B)

    Ramsa Peer / Baba Ramdev

  3. (C)

    Pabuji

  4. (D)

    Tejaji

Explanation

Ramdevji is identified in Rajasthan's folk-religious tradition as Baba Ramdev, and Hindustan Times describes devotees travelling to Baba Ramdev's samadhi temple in Jaisalmer to worship the folk deity. People from different creeds have faith in Baba Ramdev, and Muslims worship the folk deity under the name Ramsa Peer. That is why the paired option "Ramsa Peer / Baba Ramdev" is the only complete answer. The name is not just an alternate label; it signals the shared devotional culture around Ramdevji in western Rajasthan.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Gogaji is a separate Rajasthani folk deity, while Ramdevji is connected with Ramsa Peer and Baba Ramdev.
  • (C) Pabuji is another folk-deity name and is not the name under which Muslims worship Ramdevji.
  • (D) Tejaji is a different Rajasthani folk deity, not the Ramsa Peer or Baba Ramdev identity attached to Ramdevji here.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan's folk-deity tradition and its syncretic religious vocabulary. RAS often asks such aliases because they link a deity, community practice and regional cultural identity in one short fact.
