🚰✨ KENYA’S CLEANEST RIVERS ✨🌊

1️⃣ Gura River (Aberdares) – So fresh, it could be bottled as “Nature’s Sprite.” 🥶🍃

2️⃣ Mara River (Mau Forest) – Starts clean and pure, then goes on safari with the wildebeests 🦓🦒.

3️⃣ Tsavo River – Wildlife-approved, 100% organic water. 🐘💧

4️⃣ Tana River (Mt. Kenya/Aberdares) – Kenya’s longest… and cleanest at the top. Length does matter! ⛰️🌲

5️⃣ Ewaso Nyiro (Aberdares/Mt. Kenya) – Starts crystal clear, then goes on an adventure in Laikipia. 🐆🌍

6️⃣ Nzoia River (Mt. Elgon) – Pure at the top, but gets a little “social” downstream. 👨‍🌾🍌

7️⃣ Athi River (Ngong Hills) – Super fresh at the source… but let’s just say Nairobi gives it “character.” 😬🏭

💡 Moral of the story: If you want clean water, catch these rivers before they mingle with humans! 😂

🐀✨ THE TEMPLE OF RATS! ✨🐀

Karni Mata Temple (India), better known as the Temple of Rats. And no, this is not a prank – it’s real! 😲

🌸 THE STORY BEHIND IT:
Karni Mata, believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Durga, tried to bring her stepson Laxman back to life after he drowned. But the god of death, Yama, told her he had already been reincarnated as a rat. So, Karni Mata made a divine decree: her family and followers would be reborn as rats before becoming human again. And that’s how… thousands of furry “residents” 🐭 moved in permanently!

🙏 FUN (AND A BIT WEIRD) FACTS:
The temple has over 25,000 rats – and yes, they’re VIPs. 🚫🐱 (Cats are not allowed near them).

Eating food nibbled by the rats is considered good luck. So if a rat steals your snack, don’t fight it – say thank you 😂🍲.

Spotting a white rat is like winning the spiritual lottery 🐀🤍 – super rare and super lucky.

So, while most of us scream when we see one rat in the kitchen… here in Rajasthan, people line up to worship them! 🙌

Would you dare to visit this “rat kingdom”? 👀🐀
