The Holy Rats Of Karni Mata

image credit

I've covered this item before but the pictures keep amazing me. From the outside the Hindu temple of Karni Mata in the small town of Deshnoke in the Indian province of Rajasthan looks much like any other. Ornate and beautiful and with a steady stream of worshippers arriving it holds a surprise for the unsuspecting visitor. The temple is inhabited by rats: thousands of them.

(thanks Robert-John)
