Which famous folk deity in Rajasthan is considered to be an incarnation of…

Concept: Rajasthan's folk deities (lok devta) are historical or legendary regional figures who, over centuries of oral tradition, came to be worshipped as gods; a common device in this tradition is to identify a folk hero as a human incarnation (avatar) of a Puranic figure, weaving local hero-worship into the wider Vaishnavite narrative.

Application: Among the four folk deities offered here, only Pabuji Rathore, the 13th-century Rathore warrior traditionally born at Kolu near Phalodi in the Marwar region and hero of the oral epic Pabuji ki Phad, carries the specific incarnation identity asked about — folk tradition and the epic's own vernacularised narrative frame him as an incarnation of Lakshman, Rama's younger brother. This is the standard attribution given in Rajasthan-GK literature.

• Mehaji Manglia is remembered for his generosity and valour as a folk hero of the Mangaliya lineage, without any Puranic-avatar identity attached to him.

• Ramdevji is popularly identified as an incarnation of Krishna (Vishnu), a distinct attribution from Lakshman.

• Harbhuji is venerated as an ascetic-saint (Shakun Shastri) renowned for unfailing predictions rather than for a warrior legend; no Lakshman-avatar identity is attributed to him.

Cross-check: This matches RSSB's own Patwar 2025 Shift-II answer key for this item, and is independently confirmed by scholarly accounts of the Pabuji epic (e.g. John D. Smith's study of Pabuji ki Phad), which explicitly record Pabuji as Lakshman's incarnation while placing Ramdevji under a separate Krishna attribution — confirming the folklore identification from two independent directions.

Result: The famous Rajasthani folk deity considered an incarnation of Lakshmanji is Pabuji.
