Rat City– Thousands of black rats, called “kabas,” live freely inside the temple. They scurry around, climb walls, and sometimes even nibble on sweets offered by visitors. Respect the Rats– Hurting a rat here is a big no-no! They are considered holy, and if one gets hurt by accident, it is replaced with a silver statue! Lucky Charms– Keep an eye out for the special white rats. Seeing one is believed to bring good luck!
