An Amazing Temple Where Rats Are Worshipped AS God: Karni Mata Hindu Temple

An Amazing Temple Where Rats Are Worshipped AS God: Karni Mata Hindu Temple


Have you ever heard of Rats Temple anywhere in the world till now? Well today we bring out one such place for you all. There is a temple called Karni Mata Hindu Temple which was built way back in early 1900 by the then Maharajah Ganga Singh.  He built this as a tribute to Karni Mata or the Rat Goddess. The most surprising part of the story is that it still houses about 20,000 rats. This place is located somewhere in India’s state called Rajasthan. To some it might sound like a nightmare to imagine so many rats at a place and making the place stink like anything, but it’s a fact.

For these 20,000 rats this Karni Mata Hindu Temple is like a home. The rats are called Kabbas locally. As per the legend, an incarnation of Goddess Durga, one of the child of her clansmen died.
