Rats of the Karnimata Temple - 1

The Karnimata Temple in Deshnoke in the Bikaner District of Rajasthan is quite a wonder. Rats are held sacred here and can be found scampering all over the place in a rather carefree manner. People of the region visit regularly and leave behind food for them...

Scampering around...

A devotee brings a jugful of milk...

and the offerings are willingly accepted.
