One of our favorite places so far, the Temple of Rats. This temple is a sight to see, the holy rodents of Karni Mata are considered to be incarnations of story-tellers and they are swarming inside of the temple. 
I am embarrassed to say that I screamed when one of them ran over my foot upon entering the temple. You can’t avoid them really as there are literally thousands inside running all over. One even stopped for a moment on Matt’s foot while he was taking a picture. Two little kids gave us snacks to feed them and we just walked around trying to avoid stepping on them (or getting stepped on!). Apparently, there is one white rat which is God and if you see him it is very good luck. We both received our blessings and drove back to Bikaner.

This is one place I would have to admire from the outside. Thousands of rats would be terrifying. I'm sure they're very nice rats, but they're still rats.
