Children of Karni Mata

Shree Karni Mata was born in a Chaaran family in Suwap village, Jodhpur in 1387 AD. Disappointed by another birth of a female child, her aunt attempted to strike her out of disappointment but failed. Her family, and eventually the whole village believed that she is an incarnation of a god. Following the death of Karni Mata's son, any person after his/her death in the village will reincarnate as a rat and stay in the temple under her protection. The rat or "Kaba" will rebirth as a human being in the village. She said this process will continue till this universe exists.
