She implored Yama, the God of Death, to bring her son back to life. Initially, he declined but eventually agreed, granting her the wish that all her sons would be reborn as rats. Consuming food that has been touched by these rats is deemed an honor. The Temple features large silver gates and intricate marble carvings donated by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner.
