Raidas Chamar used to make Jutis(shoes). Like Kuba Kumbhar (Kuba the potter) he too was a devout man and would make two pairs to sell and donate two pairs of shoes. His shoes also turned to gold. Because he was a shudra he was not allowed to take water from the well and he was not allowed to come near or touch anyone. Then Ganga came to his kund (water tank) where he would soak the leather. Therefore he did not have to go looking for water. When that water touched anyone s/he would get the knowledge of three worlds. Anyone who dared to drink that water with soaking leather shoes would be enlightened. Meera’s in-laws used to live in Chittor so she began going to Raidas’ place where she drank the water from the kund and it gave her knowledge of all three worlds and she took him as her Guru.
