Karni Mata Temple
Karni Mata Temple in Alwar, Rajasthan, is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Goddess Karni Mata, regarded as an incarnation of Durga or Hinglaj. The temple was founded between 1792 and 1815 by Bakhtawar Singh, the ruler of Alwar, following a personal spiritual experience that led him to establish the shrine. The main idol of the goddess holds a trident (trishul) and is deeply worshipped by devotees who believe she fulfills their wishes.
Architecturally, the temple features influences of Mughal style with large stone walls, intricate carvings, large doorways, and pathways, crafted mostly from sandstone. It is situated near the historic Bala Qila area in Alwar. The temple attracts many visitors, especially during the nine-day Navratri festival when a fair is held. Local devotees also pay respect to the temple's large population of rats, considered sacred and believed to protect the shrine, feeding them milk and sweets as an act of devotion.
The temple symbolizes a unique blend of spiritual faith, historic significance, and regional architectural beauty. It remains a focal point for pilgrimage and cultural activity in Alwar.
