5 of the Most Dark Religious Beliefs and Places

<p>Karni Mata Temple in India is also known as the Temple of Rats. The story goes that the son of the Goddess Karni Mata drowned trying to drink from a pond. She begged the God of Death, Yama, for her son&rsquo;s life. Yama at first refused, but later he decided to bring the son back as a rat and now all of her sons are reincarnated as rats. The rats in this temple are revered. They are given drink and food. When visiting, if you accidentally kill one, you have to replace it with a rat made of solid silver. It is considered a high honor to eat food that has been nibbled on by the rat.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@SeekingSacred/5-of-the-most-dark-religious-beliefs-and-places-117494d842a"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
