As far as the establishment of this temple, which has become a centre of faith, is concerned, the elderly woman of the village, late Padma Devi, wife of Shri Ramkaran Gaidar, did it hundreds of years ago as a result of her religious devotion. Ram Devra, or Runicha Dham, which is situated in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, is a centre of faith for devotees from all over the country and abroad. As a result of her devotion and faith, she laid the foundation of the Baba Ramdev temple in her village. Her thought was that the Baba Ramdev temple should be established in her village, and those who cannot travel hundreds of miles to Ram Devra should express their devotion towards Baba from here. Since then, not only the residents of village Barwa, but the people of the surrounding areas have immense devotion towards this temple, and as this caravan moved forward, Baba Ramdev Mela Samiti was formed. The committee started officially organizing a fair and sports competition here from the year 1994.
