Karni Mata Temple 

Karni Mata was a special lady who was both a warrior and a sage, born in the Charan caste. She’s also known as Shri Karniji Maharaj and is honored as an incarnation of the warrior goddess Durga by her followers. She was very important to the royal families of Jodhpur and Bikaner and even helped build two major forts, Bikaner Fort and Mehrangarh Fort.

One of her most famous temples is in Deshnoke, near Bikaner in Rajasthan, where white rats are considered sacred and are protected. The temple doesn’t have a statue of Karni Mata; instead, it has her footprint to show where she visited. Karni Mata is also known as Nari Bai.

There’s an interesting story about her: she was married to a man named Depoji Charan from Sathika village. However, she didn’t want to stay married, so she helped her husband marry her younger sister, Gulab, while she stayed single her whole life.

At the temple, people believe that feeding the holy white rats brings good luck. It’s also said that visiting the temple and praying in the morning and evening can make wishes come true and help you live a longer life.

To get to the Karni Mata Temple, you can either take a 10-minute walk up the stairs from Manikyalal Verma Park or use the ropeway.
