Karni Mata Temple - The Rat Temple

I stayed in Bikaner for almost 10 years. During my stay I come to know about Karni Mata Temple. I decided to visit this place. It is situated in village name Deshnoke which is nearly 35kms.from Bikaner. This place can be easily approached as it is well connected by road and railway lines. The first thing that you will notice strange about Karni Mata Temple is that this temple is totally surrounded by thousands of Rats.

People from almost all over the world come at this place to see and take blessings of the Goddess .This strange and totally unique temple is known for a white Rat which is know as blessings of Goddess herself. Karni Mata Temple is open for whole year but main visitors come in Navratras which is a period of 9 days.


 
 

Karni Mata Temple was build by Ganga Singh, ruler of bikaner, is a symbole of fine craftsmanship having domes of silver and gold. The royal family always came to this place before going to any important work.

So next time when you decide to make a tour, and are going towards bikaner don't forget to visit The Rat Temple. It will be a surely new experience for you all. Also there are some more temples in the same village. So if you have time than do visit those temples also.
