Sacred rats, Karni Mata Temple, Deshnoke, India: This temple is unique as it relishes and feeds thousands of rats; that roam all over the place. Legend has it that Laxman, son of Karni mata, drowned in a pond while he was attempting to drink from it. Karni Mata implored Yama, the god of death, to revive him. First refusing, Yama eventually relented, permitting Laxman and all of Karni Mata's male children to be reincarnated as rats...Karni Mata Temple of Deshnoke, also known as Madh Deshnoke, is a prominent Hindu temple dedicated to Karni Mata at the town of Deshnoke, located 30 km south of Bikaner, in Rajasthan.

#KarniMataTemple is a Hindu temple dedicated to #KarniMata at #Deshnoke, 30 km from #Bikaner, in #Rajasthan, India. It is also known as the Temple of Rats. The temple is famous for the approximately 25,000 black rats that live, and are revered, in the temple. These holy rats are called kabbas, and many people travel great distances to pay their respects. The temple draws visitors from across the country for blessings, as well as curious tourists from around the world. Out of all of the thousands of rats in the temple, there are a few white rats, which are considered to be especially holy. They are believed to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her four sons. Sighting them is a special blessing and visitors put in extensive efforts to bring them forth, offering prasad, a sweet holy food. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzh2DWRh2M1/?igshid=1n22sm3wozaxv
