Devnarayan is a folk deity from Rajasthan, India. He was an incarnation of Vishnu and he is worshipped mostly in Rajasthan and north-western Madhya Pradesh.[1][2] According to tradition, he was born to Sri Savai Bhoj and Sadu mata[3] on the seventh day of the bright half (shukla saptami) of the month of Maagh in the Hindu Calendar in Vikram Samvat 968 (911 AD).According to one view historical Devnarayan belonged to 10th century of Vikram Samvat, according another view, he lived in between 1200-1400 (Vikram Samvat era). The first view appears nearer to truth.[4]
The epic of Devnarayan is one of the longest and most popular religious oral narratives of Rajasthan.[5] The epic of Devnarayan has been classified under the category of martial epics.[6]
