Karni Mata Temple, located in the town of Deshnoke near Bikaner, Rajasthan, is a unique and revered shrine dedicated to Karni Mata, a 14th-century mystic and incarnation of Goddess Durga. What sets this temple apart is its association with thousands of rats, which are considered sacred and worshipped as manifestations of Karni Mata's devotees.

Built in the early 20th century by Maharaja Ganga Singh, the temple's architecture is a blend of Mughal and Rajput styles. Its striking marble facade, intricately carved panels, and ornate silver gates captivate visitors. Inside the temple, the sanctum houses a beautiful idol of Karni Mata. However, the real attraction is the thousands of black rats, known as "kabas," which roam freely within the premises.
