Karni Mata Temple (Rats are worshipped here)

                                                 .                                                        
                                                                  The Karni Mata temple at Deshnoke, 30 km from Bikaner, in its present form was completed in the early 20th century in the late Mughal style by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner. The temple was further enhanced by Kundanlal Verma of Hyderabad-based Karni Jewelers in 1999. The huge silver gates to the temple and the marble carvings were also donated by him.                                                         

                                                                    This is a temple where people  worship rats .This temple is situated in bikaner in India .There are thousands of rats in the temple ,people eat with those rats  drink the water drunken by the rats .people sleep between those rats   
                                                           


                                                                       Out of all of the thousands of rats in the temple, there are said to be four or five white rats, which are considered to be especially holy. They are believed be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her kin. Sighting them is a special charm, and visitors put in extensive efforts to bring them forth, offering prasad, a sweet holy food.
