Deshnook Temple
Jodhpur Road, , Gajner, IndiaYou will be picked-up from your hotel in Bikaner in a private air conditioned vehicle and visit Karni Mata Temple also known as Rat temple. The current temple was built by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner about 100 years ago. Made of with occasional gold & mainly in marble and stone, the temple is in a style called “Madh”. The arched gateway is carved in marble and opens to a courtyard leading to the inner shrine. The shrine is not well illuminated, however, you can easily spot beautiful designs on its walls and ceilings, and rats all around!
There are large bowls of milk kept on the ground with the Rats (locally called “Kabas”) having a feast in a strangely orderly manner. They are everywhere, probably thousands of them! Still the locals do not mind coming in contact with them. Stay just long enough to take some photographs.
Spend some time at the temple mostly experiencing this new cultural experience and capturing the surroundings in your cameras. It is a different experience, seeing yet another aspect of India, which can seem strange to outsiders, but very normal to people here.
To conclude, you will be driven back to your hotel in Bikaner.1 hour • Admission Ticket IncludedView LocationMeeting and Pickup
