Sighting them is considered a special blessing by devotees and visitors try their best to spot a white rat.
Thousands and thousands of rats move around the temple freely unscared of any human being. Despite the presence of a large number of pilgrims, the rats are unafraid.
At no time in the past plague broke out here, say old timers.
People deem this as a miracle of Karanimata. The priests of Shakta cult worshiped the Goddess. The rats are fed on milk and laddoos.
The descendants of Karnimata who are Depawats of the Charan Community worship the Goddess.
Whenever someone's whishes are fulfilled, he prepares prasad in two big cauldrons of iron. This prasad is distributed among the devotees.
