Deshnok, Rajasthan.
I caught the bus early this morning to Deshnok where the Rat Temple is. The temple is unique in that it is a sanctuary for rats. Locals believe that the Kabas carry the souls of the future charans who inhabit the region.
The rats get fed milk. They eat better than I do!
And lots of grains and ratty food. I could have bought some rat food for ten rupees but I did not want to feed them. One crawled over my foot and I screamed.
This rat must have been on rations.
This is where the god lives. If I was a god I would want a better home.
Squeezing sugar cane for a drink. The machine is powered by an old diesel motor that just chugs along.
A bloke and his oxen. I was going to send him the photo by email but he did not know what email was.
Wow those lucky rats cool place
