>>12535118> A house of worship is a sacred place. Religious believers come to these buildings for inspiration, comfort, and peace, and inside those sacred walls, anyone can find sanctuary.At one temple in India, thousands of devotees flock there to worship every day. It's a special place where everyone feels protected... but human beings aren't the only ones who consider this temple holy.
>The Karni Mata Temple in Rajasthan, India, is no ordinary house of worship. You see, it's overrun by over 20,000 rats.> Disease is not a concern, as visitor Surender Sharma explained: "There is no history of plague in this area, despite the presence of rats for many years. People come here to worship rats as god."> The food eaten by the vermin is also considered holy, and sometimes the human visitors will even join in...even if a rodent has already started nibbling on it.
