    Arrive at the Karni Mata Temple, a unique and sacred site known for its thousands of resident rats, considered divine and believed to be the reincarnated followers of Karni Mata, a 14th-century mystic and revered goddess.

    Explore the marble-fronted temple adorned with intricate silver doors and the image of Karni Mata. Witness the sacred black and white rats freely roaming the complex. Spotting a white rat is considered extremely auspicious.
