DESHNOK IS A SMALL VILLAGE SITUATED 32 KM SOUTH FROM BIKANER CITY. IT IS CONNECTED BY NATIONAL HIGHWAY AND RAIL.THE HOLY LAND OF DESHNOK WAS FORMED BY TAKING THE CORNER PLOTS OF TEN NEAR BY VILLAGES ABOUT 387 YEARS AGO (AS PER ENGLISH CALENDER). AT THE TIME LOCAL PEOPLE USED TO CALL IT AS DUS-NOK. AS THE TIME CHANGED IT HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO DESHNOK.THE GREATEST ATTRACTION OF DESHNOK IS THE TEMPLE OF SHRI KARNIMATA. PEOPLE FROM FAR AND WIDE COME TO PAY RELIGIOUS TRIBUTE TO SHRI KARNI MATA. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THERE'S AN INFLUX OF PILGRIMS. OUTSIDE RAJASTHAN, PLACES LIKE GUJRAT, MADHYA PRADESH, HARYANA ARE AREAS WHERE MATA IS GREATLY RESPECTED AND LOVED. DURING THE TIME OF NAVRATRI THOUSANDS FLOCK TO MATA'S TEMPLE ON FOOT. INNUMERABLE PEOPLE COME ON FOOT FROM NEARBY PLACES LIKE BIKANER, CHURU, HANUMANGARH, SHRIGANGANAGAR AND NAGOR. MATA'S ENIGMA ATTRACTS PILGRIMS FROM ALL OVER. IT IS BECOMING ONE OF THE HOLIEST AND MOST FAITHFUL PLACES IN INDIA. SHE IS NOT SOME SUPERIOR FORCE STANDING AND WATCHING, INSTEAD SHE STAYS EVER READY TO HELP HER DISCIPLES IN WHATEVER WAY SHE CAN.THIS MIRACULOUS TEMPLE IS LOOKED AFTER BY A SPECIAL CASTE CALLED "CHARAN"
