Karni mata temple, also referred as the Karni Mata Mandir, is one of Bikaner’s most popular tourist attractions. The temple is devoted to Karni Mata, who is believed by the locals to be a manifestation of Goddess Durga, the Hindu religion’s protecting Mother Goddess. In the fourteenth century, Karni Mata was a Hindu warrior guru from the Charan caste.
Karni Mata, who lived as an ascetic, was highly regarded by the villagers and drew a large following. She even set the foundation stones of the Mehrangarh and Bikaner Forts after receiving requests from the Maharajas of Jodhpur and Bikaner. Despite the fact that there are other temples dedicated to her, this one in Deshnoke, 30 kilometres from Bikaner, is the most well-known.
