I am a house wife Ms. Nandini Depawat, We are the priest family of the world famous Karnimata temple of rats, Deshnoke, Bikaner in Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India. This six centuries old unique temple is dedicated to Goddess Karni, the incarnation of power (Goddess of sect of power). We are the descendents of the Goddess. We derive our surname 'Depawat' from the Goddess's husband Depa. Interestingly the temple is full of rats, spiritual fervor and unparalled beauty of sculpture. The temple has a beautiful museum where big pictures depicting the wholesome philosophy of the temple are displayed. Nowadays the temple is a centre of attraction of tourists from all over the world and has been featured by different media outlets around the world. It is also a research centre for students and scholars from different countries. More than eighty thousand foreign tourists visit the temple every year. It is an attraction mentioned by almost every travel site. My Husband Babu Depawat is the author of GODDESS AND HER SACRED RATS book on the temple. Presently he is working on others languages versions of the book. We have Camel/Desert safari as our family business. According to TripAdvisor we thereon as 'Deshnoke Camel Safari Day Tours' are the leading Safari House of the region. We have a Stable/Organic Desert Farm/Ranch deep inside the desert.

Location

Deshnoke is surrounded by Camel Highways leading to some of the finest Dunes/Desert of Thar where people breed camels for selling so the desert nearby Deshnoke is like a 'camel park' We are intended to form a co operative society of these camelmen. Deshnoke is a leading Hindu religious centre (Pilgrimage) of Rajasthan, there are more temples than no. of houses, there are more Gods/Goddesses than people and there are more festivals in a yr. than 365 so volunteers always have opportunities to be the part of all these. Our nearby city of Bikaner(20 Miles), a million populated, historical city, situated on ancient Silk route fr China to Arebia, presently known as 'a city of one thousand Hawelies(heritage architecture)' has many forts, oasis and so many other beautiful sites and activities worth visiting where we would love to take you -Bikaner is the best market of sweets in India, it is really a heaven for sweet lovers. It has a very interesting spice mart. -The National Camel Research Centre where you can even try camel ice cream! -The Ayurvedic health care centre in Dehnoke. -The opportunity to go on a camel safari Deshnoke is connected directly with Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Amritsar and rest of the country by train/ bus network.
