The Rama Pir Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ramdev Pir in Tando Allahyar in Sindh, Pakistan. The annual Ramapir Mela festival is the second largest Hindu pilgrimage in Pakistan, after the annual Hinglaj yatra, which is the largest Hindu pilgrimage in Pakistan.
Legend The temple was built in the British Raj on 1859, three and a half centuries after the demise of Ramdev Pir in 1459 CE. According to a legend, a Hindu man in Tando Allahyar took a vow that if he was blessed with a child, he will arrange a Mela (fair) of Rama Pir in Tando Allahyar. As his wish was fulfilled, he brought an earthen lamp from the original temple of Rama Pir 460 km northeast in Ramdevra in Rajasthan, India to Tando Allahyar and built a temple here.
Rampir Mela
The three-day Ramapir Mela is held annually. Thousands of barefoot devotees make pilgrimage to the temple.
