... piece of grass for hours before regurgitating it back up to chew it again, or how when we awoke in the morning surrounded by hundreds of dung beetles scuttling around inches from our faces, but I'll have to leave that for another day.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Ben and Amber<br><br>p.s I nearly forgot to mention, while queuing to enter Karni Mata Temple, a bird ***************.

Eating prasad, which is the holy food offerings, covered in holy rat saliva is claimed by believers to bring good fortune. We took their word for it but didn't fancy trying any.

Wayne and i were also tipped off where the lucky white rat was, so we got a peek at him too...and on that note we also ended our visit to the temple...
