The Place is Unique , with a tons of rats .. I'm not sure about health standards because Belief often captures it all in +91 .. But anyway it gave a different experience.. You are advised not to eat anything from the stalls outside the temple

I've heard and read a lot about this temple and I was totally shocked and amazed to see so many rats there. It's nothing less than a miracle. Needs a bit of maintenance as there are always rats roaming around. More cleaning needed. They charge extra for taking pictures even outside the main temple, which I think is unnecessary.

The only temple in India where mouses are freely roaming.... It is said that they never hurt anyone... Also if someone is lucky enough, he) she can see white mouse....

The presence of rats here is for real. There are around 20k rats easily. I had only seen this on National Geographic Channel on TV earlier. It's astonishing to see how bold these rats are in the sense that they are not afraid of us humans even a tiny little bit. They are quite harmless too. It's definitely a very unique experience. One of a kind for sure. Keep in mind that a lot of shop owners insist free parking in front of their shop, but they will not allow you not to buy 'prasad' for rats. Rats already have plenty to eat there. In fact, the food is overloaded. It's best you avoid littering it even more, unless you are fearful of God, etc. Definitely worth a visit.

Karni Mata Temple (Hindi: करणी माता मंदिर) is a Hindu temple dedicated to Karni Mata at Deshnoke, 30 km from Bikaner, in Rajasthan, India. It is also known as the Temple of Rats.The temple is famous for the approximately 25,000 black rats and a few white rats (which are rarest to be seen) that live, and are revered, in the temple. These holy rats are considered as Depawat charan in previous birth, these both take birth in a cycle of Depawat charan and Rats respectively. Many people travel great distances to pay their respects. The temple draws visitors from across the country for blessings, as well as curious tourists from around the world.[1]

This is not the original Karni mata mandir since that is 32 km away in deshnoke. You have to take bus from the traffic police chowky, near museum. Frequent buses ply qith 30-40 rs ticket.

Buses, taxis & jeeps - easily available from Bikaner. Situated near Deshnok Railway Station. It was highly crowded during day time. Aka the ‘Chuhe wala Mandir’ - the temple of rats. It is said that there’re around 25000 rats 🐀 inside the temple. When you step in the temple, you see rats all over the floor. Be very cautious with your steps.

I recently visited Karni Mata temple and was thoroughly impressed by the beautiful architecture and peaceful atmosphere. As I walked through the temple, I saw numerous black rats which are considered holy and treated with utmost care by the devotees Out of all of the thousands of rats in the temple, there are a few white Rats, which are considered to be especially holy. They are believed to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her four sons. Sighting them is a special blessing and visitors put in extensive efforts to bring them forth, offering prasad, a sweet holy food. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to this temple to anyone looking to experience the rich culture and spirituality of Hinduism.

Karni Mata is most revered diety and devotees throng to this place from all over India. The devotees can park their vehicle in the designated parking slot or can park in front of any shops who will take care of the safety. The only catch here is that you have to buy Pooja items that may cost you INR 100. There is a shoe stand service which is free of cost. You will start seeing the rats right there and all th3 way into the temple. Don't be scared. Just walk and you will get your way. A place yo visit to experience the co-habitat attitude. Enjoy Madi.

It’s a temple with rats. Just one of those things one must see I suppose. Take a mask if strong smells isn’t your thing. Your fear of rats may just go away after this visit.

The excellent one. Very Fabolous and popular temple of Rajasthan.

I recently visited Karni mata temple and my experience was very nice. Temple is very beautiful, peaceful environment. As I enter inside the temple, I saw numerous rats inside the mandir. When we entered inside the gate, there were lots of vendors who force you to park your vehicle outside there shop, instead of that parking is available opposite of the shops, near the temple. Opposite of karni mata temple there is karni mata museum where you can visit and see some photographs related to the life of karni mata. The charge for the museum is 5Rs/- person.

Not the actual temple, Real temple is located in deshnoke village. You can reach there by bus or train from Bikaner. Just 30kms. This is incorrect location.

Temple of Mice. You can see a lot of Mouse here and there running around and fighting with each other. Little bit smelly bcoz of mice. Rest the temple is worth visiting at least once.

This is a religious place known as KARNI MATA MANDIR. This place is located at DESHNOK, about 40 KMs from Bikaner Rajasthan. One can reach there by own conveyance, bus and by train at DESHNOK. This temple is famous for rats. There are an unaccountable number of rates. They are at every place on the temple. Many rats die there but there has never been a plague observed in last 1000 years. There are many places to stay like hotels & Dharamshala. A very nice & famous place.

When you go to see Karni Mata you will feel absolutely cool and all your tension will disappear. 💖🦅😘🥰

Popularly known as the Karni Mata Mandir, this temple is the most called upon tourist attractions in Bikaner. The temple is dedicated to Karni Mata, who the locals believe is an incarnation of Goddess Durga, the protective Mother Goddess in Hindu religion. Karni Mata was a Hindu warrior sage from the Charan caste, who lived in the fourteenth century. Living the life of an ascetic, Karni Mata was highly revered by the locals and earned many followers too. Having received requests from the Maharajas of Jodhpur and Bikaner, she even laid the foundation stones of the Mehrangarh and Bikaner Forts. Although there are many temples dedicated to her, this temple in the town of Deshnoke at a distance of 30 kilometers from Bikaner is the mostly widely recognized. The construction of the Karni Mata Temple was concluded in the early 20th century by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner. The entire temple structure is raised in marble and its architecture evinces resemblance to the Mughal style. Adding to the charm of the attractive marble façade are solid silver doors that lead to an entry to the compound within. The panels of the silver doors depict the many legends of the Goddess. The idol of Karni Mata of Bikaner sits within the inner sanctum of the temple,a 75 cm tall statue holding a trident (trishul) in one hand, adorned by a crown and garlands. The idol of the Goddess is accompanied by that of her sisters on either side. The enhancement of the temple was further carried out in 1999, by Kundan Lal Verma, a Hyderabad-based Karni Jeweler. The marble carvings and silver gates were his contribution to the temple.

The place is very peacefull. Here maa Karni is worshiped. "Deshnok darbar" is another name of this; Jai Maa Karni🙏🏻🙌

We went there through VIP entry, so it took hardly 10 minutes to visit the place. Overall, its a great place. Lots of rats can be seen here. White rats are considered to be lucky for all, if you are lucky enough too see them, it is believed that your wish is going to be fulfilled soon.

The world Famous Rat Temple...... Karni Mata mandir is an experience that must not be missed. The place is full of rats that run around. It's not at all scary as they do not harm. One must be careful not to step on any one as folklore says if you kill a rat you must present one of a similar weight in silver to the diety Karni Mata. Try and spot one of the 4 white rats here. It is supposed to be very luck

One of the best tourist spot in bikaner. This temple situated in deshnok, 30 kms from Bikaner. This temple is famous for rats. You will see rats and lot of rats inside the temple. These rats live inside the temple and do not leave the periphery of the temple. These rats do not harm the tourists here are very friendly.

While entering the temple you can see pigeons all around earing the food offered by tourists.

Very nice old religious place. You may see lots of rates here. This temple is also known as chujo wali mata mandir

It's a good temple of Karni mata. There are thousands of rats in the temple living freely. It feels somewhat uncomfortable for a few to start with while surrounded by so many rats, but it was okay for me.

I don't like rats moving all around in the temple but it is supposed to be kabas of Shri karani Mata and are given milk,food chana. Beautiful mandir but not clean from inside. The whole mandir is beautifully carved. The entrance is beautiful. Ceilings are painted beautiful with devata paintings. The shopkeepers sell bangles at a high cost which I got at half price elsewhere. Due to our faith in Mataji we bought there.

Sree Karni Mata temple, also known as rat temple, is located approx. 30 kms from Bikaner. 5O rupees for a bus ride from museum (in 2023). Unique temple that shelters thousands of rats. Plenty of tourists too. I'm told that there was a National Geographic documentary about the temple.. People believe that seeing a white rat brings them good luck. Pooja materials available for sale outside. Last bus from Sree karni Mata temple leaves for Bikaner at 6.30 Pm. A must-visit place.

It's at little distance from the main city of bikaner, at District deshnok. This temple has so many rats inside of it and also pigeons. We visited recently, the temple is big, and be very cautious of rats as they run between your foots and you wouldn't want to hurt them. We are blessed to visit this unique temple.

very beautiful temple there are too many rats those rats are called kaaba Among them the white rat is considered to be the luckiest. Karni Mata is also known as Daadi Wali Mata. This mother is sitting in the corner of Bikaner 😍

It's located around 30km from Bikaner. Buses are available frequently. Some buses drop you around 1-2 km before the temple, don't take those. There are direct ones also available. Temple is well maintained I'd say considering its a 'rat temple'. And no need to be scared as rats are used to human activity. They won't bother you, just keep distance. Better to go in the morning to avoid the crowds.

one of the best popular and peaceful temple of maa karni 😍🚩 you have to visit once in your life ❤️🚩

Nice temple and wonderful place

Shop keepers behaviour is irritating inside and outside the temple. Not a devloped placed compare to famous status of the temple. A barrier near railway station that collecting money from 4 wheelers. Not a pleasent experience. Temple controlling authorities must do some thing.

It's a very nice and historical place to visit in holidays............. to learn and enjoy something new

You can feel relaxed on this palace . If you come with umeed. Jarur puri hogi mata ki kripa se
