Mata Temple is the uncountable rats freely roaming in the temple complex. The
temple is home to about 25000 rats and it is considered to be holy by the locals. A
normal human being will be absolutely scared over the thought of the number of rats
(They look like rats, but actually aren’t) that are in the temple. However, the
outstanding fact is that these Kabas are harmless and play around in the temple
without disturbing the devotees. Rather they sit on devotees’ laps, shoulders, hands
and head which the devotees think to be of divine spirit and blessings of the Goddess.
The magnificence of these Kabas is that, despite being innumerable, they never go
out of the temple’s boundaries. The miraculous fact is that no disease relating to rats
has ever been found in Deshnok till date. Neither the temple stinks of foul smells nor
is it dirty anywhere.
