Baba Umad Singh was a spiritual leader who lived in Rajasthan, India in the early 19th century. He is regarded as a local deity ("lok-devta").
Baba Umad Singh was born in the village of Buhana, Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan. His father was Gulji Singh.
His shrine is in the middle of Buhana tehsil, Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan.
According to local lore, Umad Singh was accepted by Madho Das of Jerpur Pali (Mahendragarh District, Haryana) as his Guru. Umad would visit his guru on foot each day and worked at his ashram during the night.[citation needed]
Madho Das eventually asked Umad to return to his own village, telling him that he would be revered as a deity there.
A similar temple has been constructed in Badbar village, Buhana.
Philosophy
Baba Umad Singh believed in the equality of all human beings, be they high or low, rich or poor.
There is a temple in Buhana (Chhitri) dedicated to him.
