Deshnok is a small village situated
32 km south from Bikaner city along the Jodhpur Road. It is connected by national
highway and rail. It is a pilgrim centre of Karni Mata. Karni Mata, considered
as an incarnation of Goddess Durga lived here in the fourteenth century and
performed many miracles. Originally the village was called 'dus- nok' meaning
ten corners as it was formed by taking ten corners of ten villages.
Before the temple is a beautiful marble facade, which has solid silver doors
built by Maharaja Ganga Singh. Across the doorway are more silver doors with
panels depicting the various legends of the Goddess. The image of the Goddess
is enshrined in the inner sanctum.
