Shree Karni Mata Temple - Featured Reviews (25913)
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.
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.

Very nice old religious place. You may see lots of rates here. This temple is also known as chujo wali mata mandir
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.
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.
Really awesome. Mices are most attractive things here. You may notice odd smell here because of huge amount of mice. Temple is related to Rathore Empire. Very famous in the State.
The temple is very popular for its uniqueness, that is plenty of rats in temple. The best part is rats are not at all harmful rather they are offered prasad and after that people pertake the prasad. This is very old temple and there is no report of any problem in the area. many times you touch them during parikarma. For its uniqueness it is must visit atleast once. around 30 kms from bikaner ont he way to jodhpur.
Very strange temple with rats everywhere. There is no queue outside in the time of my visit. A must see it's so bizarre place. Recommended if you visit Bikaner not that far by car.
Nehadi Mata Temple (nehdd'ii maataa mNdir) This temple is 1.5 KM by walk from Karni Mata temple, Deshnoke. It's the place where Karni Mata used to recite and meditate in her early days. This place is very beautiful architecturally. You can see lots o

This place is on the opposite side of Karni Mata Temple. It costs Rs.5 per ticket to enter this museum. It's a simple big room with lots of wall paintings. The whole life of Karni Mata is described by these paintings. From birth to Mahanirvana of Kar
