Watch your step as you go around the temple though you may hope that a rat crosses your foot or that you catch the sight of a white one - both supposed to bring good luck to you. Braver souls may also eat the prasaad of the devi: the remains given to humans only after it has been sampled thoroughly by the holy rats. Cities near Bikaner
