The most surprising thing is that there are more than 25 thousand rats in this temple, but still there is no foul smell from the temple and not even a single rat ever falls sick. Let's know about this mysterious temple.
There are more than 25 thousand rats in the temple
The temple of Karni Mata is located about 30 km from Deshnok city in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Goddess Karni is a form of Maa Durga, who descended on earth for the welfare of people. There are more than 25 thousand rats in this temple. The rats present here are called Kaba. Rats roam freely in the temple premises.
Mostly black and brown rats are found in the temple, but sometimes white rats are also seen. According to religious belief, if you see a white rat in the temple of Karni Mata, it is considered very auspicious. This is a sign that the thing you have believed in and have come to the mother's door may be fulfilled soon.
Devotees do not lift their feet in the temple
A large number of devotees visit the Karni Mata temple every day. People walk cross-legged in the temple so that they do not accidentally step on rats. It is believed that if a rat comes under the feet of a devotee, it is a sin. Whatever food is given to the rats in the temple, the devotees also accept it later.
Rats are considered to be children of their mother
The white rats present in the temple of Karni Mata are considered to be the sons of Karni Mata. According to legend, in ancient times there was a goddess named Karni. Karni had a step son named Laxman. One day Laxman was trying to draw water from the lake. But he drowned in the lake water and died. When Mata Karni came to know about this, she became very sad and prayed to Yamdev to give her son back. On the request of Mata Karni, Lord Yama brought Laxman and all his children back to life in the form of rats. That is why rats are worshipped here as the children of Karni Mata.
