A truly unique and fascinating temple! Dedicated to Goddess Karni Mata, this place is famous for its thousands of holy rats that freely roam around — locals believe they are reincarnated devotees. The temple architecture is beautiful, with detailed marble work and silver doors adding to its charm.
At first, the sight of so many rats might feel unusual, but the devotion and calm atmosphere soon make you feel at ease. The temple is quite well maintained considering the number of rats. Try visiting early in the morning or evening to avoid the crowd and heat.
Overall, it’s a must-visit place near Bikaner for anyone interested in experiencing something truly different and deeply spiritual.
Jai Maa 🙏
Karni Mata Temple in Deshnok is one of the most unique and spiritual places in Rajasthan. The temple is beautifully built in marble with detailed carvings and silver doors that add to its charm. The main attraction is the thousands of sacred rats (called kabas), which are considered the incarnations of Karni Mata’s devotees. It’s said that spotting a white rat here brings good fortune.
The atmosphere is filled with devotion and peace. The temple premises are clean and well-managed, and local vendors outside offer prasad and souvenirs. Evening aarti is a mesmerizing experience — highly recommended for anyone visiting Bikaner. 🙏
Tip: Remove shoes before entering and walk carefully as the kabas move freely around.
A truly divine and unique experience — the temple is home to hundreds of holy rats, and it is believed to be auspicious if you spot the rare white one. The temple seems to be under renovation currently, but the darshan was amazing and peaceful.
You can feed the mice inside the temple; they are harmless but often move close to your feet, so walk carefully. On normal days, the crowd is minimal, especially during morning hours, making the darshan smooth and quick.
A must-visit spiritual place known for its faith, devotion, and extraordinary belief system.

🕉️ About the Temple
Dedicated to Karni Mata, believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Durga.
Karni Mata was a revered sage who lived in the 14th century and is considered the protector deity of the royal families of Bikaner and Jodhpur.

🐀 The Rats (Kabas)
The temple is famous for its thousands of holy rats, called “Kabas.”
They are believed to be reincarnations of Karni Mata’s devotees.
Devotees consider it very lucky if a white rat is seen or if one runs across your feet.
Temple is located 500m off highway. Approach or road from highway towards temple is narrow only one car can pass. Touch have to wait for car to exit then you can take your car in. I recommend to park on highway and walk. Most people after reaching parking place get to know parking charge is Rs 100 and do not park and go back to highway to park. Any day you will have 1000s of visitors guaranteed. You would surely be in queue. There is no arrangement for shoe stand. 1000s of shoes are scattered everywhere. Food grains are donated by devotees are also scattered everywhere. Once you will enter the temple, you will see rats. So much rush that you will get few seconds to see goddess, then you will be pushes away. Even my daughter could not see the goddess, pushes away. Temple is big and magnificent.
Jai MAA KARNII♥️✨
🐀 Karni Mata: The Rat Goddess of Deshnok
Karni Mata, revered as an incarnation of the Hindu Goddess Durga, was a legendary warrior sage who lived between the 14th and 16th centuries in Rajasthan. She is the tutelary deity of the royal families of Bikaner and Jodhpur, credited with laying the foundations for their major forts, including Mehrangarh and Bikaner Fort. Karni Mata is central to the history of the region and is widely worshipped for her powers of victory and protection.
Her most famous legacy is the Karni Mata Temple in Deshnok, often called the "Temple of Rats." This unique sanctuary is home to over 25,000 black rats, known as kabbas, which are considered sacred and protected. The deep reverence for these rodents stems from a famous legend: when Karni Mata's stepson, Laxman, drowned, she pleaded with Yama, the god of death, to restore his life. Yama eventually relented, but reincarnated Laxman and all male members of her Charan clan as rats. Therefore, the kabbas are believed to be the reincarnated souls of her family and followers.
Devotees travel from afar to offer food and prayers to the rats, considering it highly auspicious to eat food nibbled by them. Spotting a white rat among the multitude is considered particularly blessed, as they are believed to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her sons. The temple is a stunning example of faith intertwining with unique folklore, where rodents are not pests but sacred family members in an unbroken cycle of life.
The initial surprise of seeing so many rats quickly turns into fascination. Watching the devotees and rats coexist so peacefully is a powerful sight. We came here during afternoon hours and there was almost no crowd at that time. Locals told me that it becomes crowded during special fests, so plan accordingly. There is ample parking space and food options.

Pushkar Camel Fair?
After reading about and seeing those colourful pictures of the Pushkar Camel Fair on Google, I decided to pay extra to go to the 2024 Pushkar Camel Fair.
We saw a lot of horses. We rode in a very "touristy" cart ride drawn by camels. But the colours and the fair-like atmosphere that were advertised - well, we did not experienced them.
What a great experience the Pushka camel fair. From camels to horses from grossly deformed cows to cobra snake charmers the Pushka camel fair has it all.
Don’t leave it to the last few days as the camels run out …. literally .
There is no animal fair, only jhula and jhula.
Animal fair ground is about 3 KM away
Amazing experience of the Rajasthani culture and folk dance. The main attraction of this fair was the camels and their caretakers. Usually they don't ask you for money for a picture, but some of can ask you about money or charge you for a picture. So be humble with the caretakers and animals while you're going to shoot them with camera and accessories. Also they're so friendly, so be polite
Nothing fair here. Worst place, this is animal abusement - camels and horses in such bad condition!! Don't support that, so don't ride them!!!
Good place for tourists and travel photographers.
The Pushkar Fair, also known as the Pushkar Camel Fair, or Pushkar Mela, is a colorful and vibrant display of unique exhibitions, exciting competitions and fascinating events. Extending to seven days, this annual camel and livestock fair, held in the town of Pushkar between the months of October and November, draws a large number of crowds. Besides, this fair is renowned for being one of the world’s largest cattle fairs.
Apart from its celebratory aspect, this wonderful event also possesses a religious significance. Over the years, the fair has found an honorable mention in Rajasthan Tourism

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Jagatpita Shri Brahma Mandir is a simple Hindu temple dedicated to the god Brahma, featuring colorful shrines and offering views of the surrounding lake. The temple is located near Pushkar Sarovar and other religious sites, making it a significant location in Hindu texts. Legend has it that Lord Brahma created springs at this site after defeating demon Vajranabha, and later performed a yagna here.
The only Lord Brahma temple on earth! There is a short walk towards the temple - you should visit the Pushkar Ghat before visiting the temple. The queue is well maintained, we kept our shoes and belongings at a local shop and went to the temple.
Note - there are a lot of people trying to draw your attention towards you for business gains. Best to ignore them and head straight to the temple.

When the demon Hiranyaksh tried to sink the earth beneath the water as a part of his shenanigans to irk the gods, Lord Vishnu incarnated as a wild boar and saved the earth on its horns.
He fought with the evil Hiranyaksha for thousands of years and later brought the earth out of the cosmic ocean, thereby restoring peace and prosperity as it were. As a saviour of the world, Lord Varaha is worshipped by those desiring wealth and wanting to escape the unforgiving cycle of life and death.
This temple is often thought to be one of its kind since there are no other notable or significantly large temples of the Varaha form of Lord Vishnu anywhere else in this world. You may visit this place for a truly insightful experience of the ancient Hindu scriptures of Vishnu Purana and Dashavatara Katha.

Varaha Temple is dedicated bhagwan shri vishnu, Temple is looks very old and much of attractive but it is slightly ignore by the pushkar authority.
Surrounded by residence also not properly maintained by authority, gives you good vibes.
All of you are requested must visit here so that authority make pay some attention to renovate it.
No washroom, no proper parking, no drinking water also.
this temple is truly rare, dedicated to the varaha (boar) incarnation of lord vishnu. according to mythology, lord vishnu took this form to rescue the earth from the demon hiranyaksha, who had dragged it to the underworld. the idol is unique — it shows the boar’s snout with a silver disk representing the earth, symbolizing how vishnu sniffed out the earth before lifting it back to the surface.
what’s surprising is that this temple is still managed privately by a family for generations, without any government support. considering its rarity and significance in indian mythology, it deserves much more recognition and care.

The temple offers breathtaking views of Pushkar Lake and the town below. Dedicated to Savitri, Lord Brahma's first wife, it holds historical and religious significance.

Savitri Mata Mandir is a beautiful temple located on top of a hill, offering one of the best panoramic views of Pushkar town and the holy lake. The temple has a peaceful aura.
If you enjoy hiking, the uphill walk at sunrise or sunset is a wonderful experience, with cool breezes and scenic landscapes. Although the ropeway makes the climb easy for those who don’t want to trek, it was closed when we visited the temple, and had to climb around 970 stairs to reach the temple which took around 45 minutes.
The temple itself is simple yet divine, and the view from the top is absolutely worth the effort. A must-visit when in Pushkar.
Please note that temple remains closed from 12 pm to 2pm. So, plan your hike accordingly.😊
Two ways of reaching the temple: ropeway and stairs; ropeway takes 180 pp (two way).
The place is peaceful with an amazing view of the entire town.
A visit to Shree Savitri Mata Mandir was one of the most unique experiences we had in Pushkar. We climbed all the way up to the temple on foot – about 940 steps leading up the mountain. The climb isn’t easy, especially since the steps near the top are uneven, and some are even broken or damaged, so it’s important to walk carefully. Still, the effort is absolutely worth it – the view along the way is breathtaking, offering wide desert scenery and a stunning view of Pushkar town and the sacred lake below.
Towards the end of the climb, we encountered many monkeys, and some of them come quite close to visitors. It’s highly recommended not to hold food in your hands and to keep a safe distance from them – they can be curious and playful. Despite that, the atmosphere throughout the hike is peaceful and special, and reaching the top brings a real sense of accomplishment.
The view from the summit is especially beautiful at sunset, when the golden light colors the hills and the town beneath. It’s best to go on a clear day to enjoy the scenery to the fullest. Our walk took about 35 minutes at an easy pace, with a few stops for rest and photos. A truly recommended experience for anyone seeking a mix of spirituality, nature, and a light physical challenge.
Visiting Savitri Mata Temple was a spiritually uplifting experience with breathtaking panoramic views of Pushkar. The temple, perched atop a hill, requires a steep climb or ropeway, adding adventure to the visit. The peaceful aura and divine energy of the temple make it worth the effort. Watching the sunrise or sunset from here is truly magical. It's a perfect blend of devotion, nature, and scenic beauty.
It’s a 1.5 km trek one way. The climb can be a bit challenging, especially toward the end where the stairs get steep, but it’s absolutely worth it. Avoid interacting with the monkeys, they’re not a major concern, but it’s better to stay cautious. Definitely a must-try experience.
This is one of the best hikes I have done in India . Hike is big , neverthess it has proper stairs ; so you won’t slip , or will have your legs dirty . For old people - they have a Ropeway . You will be greeted with lots of monkeys and lots of breathtaking views of pushkar city , on this hike . At end you will reach the temple . Hiking down is same experience amazing .
Love the experience. It's beautiful ❤️😍 and peaceful. Mesmerizing view. Puskar is love for me

Shri Rama Vaikunth Nath Temple (Naya Rang Ji), Pushkar is a divine masterpiece of devotion and art. The temple is beautifully constructed, and every corner reflects intricate craftsmanship and deep spiritual essence. Inside, various leelas (divine pastimes) of Lord Vishnu and Lord Rama are artistically depicted, making you feel connected to the divine world. The detailed carvings and sculptures left me mesmerized – it truly awakened a feeling of love and devotion in my heart. The atmosphere is serene, and the seva (worship) of the deities is done with great care and devotion. Visiting this temple was not just a sight-seeing moment, but a soulful experience that touched me deeply.
A Divine Blend of the North and South
"Step into a realm where the spiritual energies of North and South India converge. The Shri Rama Vaikunth Nath Temple is a hidden architectural masterpiece, a serene sanctuary that transports you far from the bustling ghats.
Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the temple's most striking feature is its breathtaking South Indian-style gopuram (tower), an intricate work of art towering over the Rajasthani landscape. Inside, the expansive complex is a haven of peace, adorned with mesmerizing paintings depicting divine incarnations and activities that awaken a sense of devotion.
The atmosphere is truly divine, offering a tranquil space for deep worship and peaceful meditation. Visitors feel immediately connected to the divine presence of Lord Ranganatha amidst the ancient stone and marble architecture.
For those seeking an experience that is both visually stunning and profoundly spiritual, this temple is a must-visit. It's an inspiring testament to India's diverse yet unified spiritual heritage, promising a deeply enriching experience."
Good one to view

Temple architecture looks like South Indian temples. After 6 pm is the Best time to visit this place. Beach type location in front of temple gate. Mesmerizing place.

Waheguru when I visited the gurdwara there were langr is available and you can staf in gurdwara for free but first you have to volunteer in gurdwara it's not mandatory but it is our manners AND don't miss to take blessings in the gurdwara

Gurudwara Sahib in Pushkar is a very peaceful and spiritual place to visit. The moment you enter, you feel calm and connected. The Gurudwara is well maintained, clean, and welcoming for everyone. Langar (community meal) is served with so much love and humility, reminding us of equality and service. The sevadars (volunteers) are very polite and helpful. It’s not just a religious place but also a space where you can sit, meditate, and find inner peace.
A Peaceful Oasis of Reflection
"Tucked away from the vibrant chaos of Pushkar’s main bazaars and temples, the Gurudwara Sahib offers an immediate sense of peace and calm.
This is a beautiful, serene sanctuary where the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji are felt deeply. The atmosphere is quiet, respectful, and incredibly welcoming to all visitors, regardless of their faith.
The white marble structure provides a soothing contrast to the colorful town. Whether you are looking to offer prayers, sit in quiet meditation, or simply seek a moment of solace, this Gurudwara provides a genuinely tranquil and uplifting experience."
Nice place for reflection!
Kids playing around while the grownups are celebrating the ceremony.
Kind guards help you to do entrance easy! Reminding you to take off shoes and socks and put a scarf on your head.
We were invited to a free meal afterwards.
No entrance fee but you can always donate a little money.
Very best and clean Gurudwara at the heart of the city. Vwery neat and clean place just 300 meter from Puskar lake on the main road.
Visited the Gurudwara Sahib in Pushkar, and it was a peaceful experience. The place is clean, calm, and beautifully maintained. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the langar (community meal) is simple, fresh, and served with care. A serene spot to take a break, reflect, and experience the local spiritual side of Pushkar.
Very famous Gurudwara of Pushker Ji. Free Langar always availableSuperb worship place Gurudwara in Pushkar. Neat and clean well maintained and excellent architecture. You could see from any corner of Pushkar.
A Sikh is not born; a Sikh is made — through love, seva, and truth.
