There is a small town in Rajastan called Deshnok, which is 30 KM from Bikaner town. This place is famous for something unusual – A rat temple!
There is a temple called Karni Mata Temple in this town. There are more than 20,000 rats in this temple. I have never seen so many rats in a single place in my life! Not even in the animal house of my college or in the R&D wing of my company! The temple is dedicated to Goddess Karni, who is regarded as the incarnation of Maa Durga.
I am posting some of the pictures taken in this temple here:
