Ramrekha Dham, one of the foremost pilgrimage centres of the Kharia tribe, is situated nearly sixteen miles north-west of Simdega. According to a local legend, Lord Rama along with his consort Sita and brother Lakshmana spent time here during their exile period. The pilgrimage destination thus, houses footprints of Rama and Sita and idols of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana, Krishna and Radha, Jagannath, and a Shivalinga. A water pit named Ramganga constructed near the cave is deemed to have been excavated by Rama with the powerful blow of his mighty arrow. The perennial flow of water of the deep cave is endowed with medicinal properties known to cure leprosy.

Legend of Ramrekha Dham
According to the folk legends dating back to almost two hundred years, the pilgrimage centre was visited by a milkman from Madhya Pradesh who came here in search of his missing cow. During his journey he witnessed five yogis (saints) taking bath in the Kund (water-pit) who, without enquiring directed him the accurate spot to locate his cow. The milkman assuming the sacred importance of the location and the divine powers of the saints narrated the mysterious incident to others.

The local Baiga later received a divine instruction in his dream to propitiate the sacred place. Following the orders given he identified the spot and began worshipping the sacred region installing a Shivalinga. In due course, the sacred importance of this dham attained name and recognition that helped draw the attention of hordes of pilgrims. The assistance of the Baiga Pahan was sought after for offering worship. The Baiga however, later went to Madhu Das Gosain of Paledih who again entrusted the responsibility of propitiating the deities of the dham to Sri Madhu Das Gosainjee.

Sri Hari Bhajan Dasji, the Guru Maharaj of the Raja of Jashpur State, in due course visited the Ramrekha dham. Sri Madhu Dasjee requested him to take up the responsibility of a Mahanth of this place that was readily accepted by him.

Sri Hari Bhajan Dasjee later upon meeting Sri Narain Singh, the ninth Raja of Biru Raj family was requested to visit the sacred place. He installed idols of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana and donated forty five acres of agricultural land for the maintenance of this dham. He made necessary arrangements for regular donation of paddy and money and is credited with renovating the cave and initiating construction works in the interest of the devotees of this place. Garjraj Singh, the 17th Raja further installed stone idols of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana while the 18th Raja, Sri Niwas Hukum Singh installed idols of Lord Krishna and Radha on the occasion of Rash (a play or sport of Lord Krishna) festival in the month of Kartik during October-November. He also erected a Yagyashala, a place meant for offering yagya for purification and a sacred kitchen meant for preparing prasad for the deities. The pilgrimage centre also underwent some renovation work under the patronage of the next Raja, Raja Dharamjeet Singh.

Festivals of Ramrekha Dham
The sacred pilgrimage pays host to two fairs celebrated during the month of Kartik i.e. during October-November and Magh i.e. January-February. The fairs, organised for the propagation and development of the Sanatan Dharam, catch the fancy of tribal and non-tribal participants, especially few Christian tribal converts.

Lord Rama is believed to have visited Ramrekha on the Kartik Purnimashi day. Thus, to commemorate the incident the fair is organised in the month of Kartik. The fair on the Magh Purnamashi day is organised as per the local belief that this day marks the beginning of Kali Yuga (the present mythical era).

Resonating sounds of Mahamantra chanted by Brahmin priests at the sacred center evoke interest among the devotees. Occasional Sankirtan (musical and sacred recitations), are also organized. The local Kharias residing in villages Pakar Pani, Chirobera, Rengerpani, Hardibera, Salkaya, Longapani, visit the fair to partake in dancing that prolong the whole night. Arrangements are made for devotional musical programs for which a shed is temporarily erected with images of Hindu Gods and deities, decorated with flowers. Devotees circumambulate these deities chanting sacred mantras.

Of late an Executive Committee has been formed by the Biru Raja for the maintenance of Ramrekha shrine. The reputation of Ramrekha Dham as a wish fulfilment centre draws hordes of tribals residing in Pakarpani, Hardibera, Chirobera, Lasega Diapathal, Bambolkera, Kandra, Bhinypur Kattasaru, Ramja, Taraloyia, Karayaguri and Basan. The religious and spiritual programs hosted in Ramrekha Dham helps to inculcate a sense of devotion towards the Hindu deities.
