Visions of the Goddess Karni Mata, said to be an incarnation of the Goddess Durga, can be seen as a white rat at her temple in Deshnok, India. Devotees prepare food and feed the rats then consume the leftovers themselves for healing and blessings. To date there have been no sicknesses or plague like outbreaks ever reported as being caused by the some 20,000 rats that inhabit this temple."This ornate, isolated Hindu temple was constructed by Maharaja Ganga Singh in the early 1900s as a tribute to the rat goddess, Karni Mata. Intricate marble panels line the entrance and the floors, and silver and gold decorations are found throughout."

"Shri Karni Mata is the incarnation of Devi HINGLAZ or Goddess DURGA (The Goddess of Power and Victory. Goddess DURGA is synonymous with Shakti, the cosmic power that wages an eternal war against the evil). The whole life of Shri Karni Mata was full of miracles and even after her disappearance from the earth, her innumerable devotees have experienced her merciful blessings in form of help in their life. The word disappearance has been used, because it wasn’t a natural death of Shri Karni Mata, rather her human body disappeared in divine light at her desire."
