Sevalal Maharaj

Guru Sevalal Maharaj was born to Bheema Naik (father) and Dharamani Yaadi (mother) in 18th century.

His samadhi still stands there, adjacent to a temple dedicated to goddess Jagadamba devi.

Although he was opposed to personality cults and rituals, it is a popular destination for Banjaras.

Similar adjacent temples dedicated to Sevalal and to Jagdamba exist elsewhere and also attract worshipers in significant numbers.

[2] There are folk songs praising Sevalal that are popular during Banjara festivities.

All the Banjara hoist a pink or red colour flags for the jagadamba and white colour for the sri shanth sevala maharaj at spiritual sites in every village to show deep sense of spiritual reverence and claim the deep sense of community dignity.
