Dali Bai
Dali Bai or Dali Bai Meghwal[1] (c. 14th century) was a medieval saint and a central figure in the spiritual tradition of Baba Ramdev Pir.[2] She is primarily recognized as the spiritual sister of Ramdev Pir, who is said to have adopted her into his family.[3] Dali Bai is revered as one of his most devoted disciples and is a prominent figure in the devotional literature and oral traditions of Rajasthan.[4]
The Samadhi
The most significant historical and spiritual event associated with Dali Bai is her samadhi. Tradition holds that when Baba Ramdev Pir decided to take Jivit Samadhi (voluntary ritual burial), Dali Bai insisted on preceding him. It is recorded that she took samadhi two days prior to her brother. To this day, pilgrims visiting the Ramdevra Temple traditionally offer prayers at the shrine of Dali Bai before proceeding to the shrine of Baba Ramdev Pir, reflecting her status as his primary devotee and sister.[5][6]
