Santh Sri Sevalal Maharaj

A Divine Legacy of Spiritual and Social Reformation of the Banjara Community

Santh Sri Sevalal Maharaj, the revered spiritual leader of the Banjara community, was born in Ramji Naik Thanda, Gooty Mandal, Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh—a holy site now popularly known as 'Sevagad'.

Born on Monday, February 15, 1739 (Margashirsha, Shukla Paksha, Rohini Nakshatra), to his parents Bhima Rathod and Dharmini Bai, his life and teachings continue to guide millions of Banjaras.

To preserve this sacred birthplace, the late Poojary Ranjit Naik established the Santh Sri Sevalal Maharaj Charitable Trust in 2001, acquiring 50 acres of land for its protection. The All India Banjara Seva Sangh (AIBSS) later unanimously designated this holy site as 'Sevagad.' Since its inception, the Trust has been dedicated to preserving the sanctity of the birthplace, and the rich culture and traditions of the Banjara community.

We warmly welcome the Banjara community and devotees from all walks of life to visit :

The holy temples of Santh Sevalal Maharaj & Matha Jagadamba
Kalokundo & Bhima Naik Katta
Sariyagudu & Sunkalamma Temple
Chennarayuni Temple & Dudhiyakundo

Join us in honoring our heritage and keeping the flame of Sevalal Maharaj’s teachings alive.

The Temple Of

Goddess Jagadamba

The resolve of the people from the Banjaras community to build and dedicate a temple to Matha Jagadamba, the most adored deity of Santh Sevalal Baba, was finally realised in the year 2016.

Sri Shankar Pawar from Mumbai donated Rs 10 lakhs with which the construction of the foundation up to basement level for the temple of Matha Jagadamba, was completed.

Subsequently, devotees and donors contributed to the Sevalal Charitable Trust to complete the entire construction. Donated by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, the idol of Matha Jagadamba was consecrated in this temple in accordance with the Vaishnava ideologies.

On 15 February 2016, the then Tribal Welfare minister of Telangana Ajmera Chandulal inaugurated the temple, following which the temple was open for public.
