His birthplace is Mandhuadhe situated in the holy city of Varanasi, UP state. While there are contradictions with regard to his year of birth as some scholars are of the opinion that Guru Ruhidas was born in 1399, it is said that the erstwhile saint was born on the auspicious Purnima day of Magha month, a reason why the birth anniversary of Guru Ravidas is celebrated on this particular day and is earmarked on the Hindu calendar.

The place of birth of Shri Guru Ravidasji has been named accordingly as Shri Guru Ravidas Asthan and is known to attract many pilgrims and ardent devotes Shri Guru Ravidasji.
