  1. hi im not sure of the name of the ganpathi temple but the rat temple in bikaner is the place where they have all these rats around...its dedicated to the goddess kalimata


  2. Karni Mata Temple, Deshnok









    The Karni Mata temple is situated 30 kilometers away from city of Bikaner, is dedicated to an early fifteenth century mystic who was considered to be a reincarnation of goddess Durga.

    The specialty of the temple is that it is inhabited by legions of brown rats which scurry around the complex without any fear. The rats are believed to be respositories of the souls of dead charans.

    Devotees offer milk, grains and sweets to these rats during the time to aarti. There are so many rats on the floor that people have to watch where they step. Sighting a white mouse (Kaba in local language) is considered to be auspicious. It is believed that the Maharaja of Bikaner had a vision in which the goddess asked him to protect the rats and for this reason, there is bronze wiremesh across the temple.

    Bikaner's ruler Ganga Singh had the who built the whole temple in marble. The domes of the temple are made of silver and gold. The manadap and the panels above the image are also golden. Devotees place offerings in silver and gold when their prayers are answered.

    The elaborate works on the main gate of the temple is a tribute to the fine craftsmanship of the artisans of those days. On the occasion of Navratri, this temple hosts a fair which attracts hordes of pilgrims from places far the near.
