Karni Mata Temple, rat temple, Deshnok - 18/04/2016 - India / Rajasthan / Deshnok - The temple at 30kms away from Bikaner is dedicated to the reincarnation of the goddess Durga, Karni Mata, the mother of miracles. Famous for the 10 000 rats living there, the temple is considered as the unique community of diurnal rats in the world.
