Karni Mata Temple : Karni Mata Temple, 30 miles south of Bikaner in
Deshnoke, is one of the strangest holy spots in India. The Karni Mata
Temple was built by Maharaja Ganga Singh in the early 20th century in
the late Mughal style. The entrance, pictured here, is lavishly
decorated with beautifully sculptured marble panelling full of intricate
patterns, and delicately worked doorways, colonnades, pavilions and
balconies. The resident diety is Karni Mata, a mystic who lived in the
15th century and who is considered an incarnation of Durga. She was the
daughter of a 16th century Charan who married at 27. After her marriage
dissolved, she became a sanyasinand devoted her life to the service of
the poor. She was patronized by the Rathore clan of Bikaner and
predicted great glory for Bika when he set out to establish a kingdom
for himself. The Sanctum sanctorum of the temple depicts Karni Mata as
Durga after slaying the buffalo-demon Mahishasura. Her inverted trident
is impaled in the demon's head.
