Karni Mata Temple - Deshnoke, Rajasthan, India - Doorways of the World on Waymarking.com

In front of the temple is a beautiful marble facade, which has two huge solid silver doors with images of gods embossed on it. These were donated by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner.

The temple is famous for the approximately 20,000 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.
