The Karni Mata Temple is one of the most holy sanctums, but little do people know that it is also one of the most mysterious places in India. The temple is home to over 20,000 rats. Revolting as it may sound, one is not allowed to kill, hurt, or even scare them away! The Mystery: These rats, or ‘kabbas’, as they’re called there, are considered to be highly auspicious , are worshipped, and safeguarded, which is why they hold more value than the humans visiting the shrine. The Myth: The rats are believed to be the reincarnated relatives and family members of Karni Mata. In fact, the rare, white mice at the place are considered to be her sons. Photos of Sight
