In 2019, a rat entered a jewellery shop in Patna and ran away stealing some precious earrings. The incident was caught on the CCTV camera and it showed the animal carrying away the earrings placed in a plastic bag. And, guess what, it was diamond again. In this case, the shop owner had told media that they would donate the earrings to the Kedarnath temple if found.

“I believe that the rat was an embodiment of God and took away the earrings to endow it to the Goddess Parvati on the auspicious day of Maha Shivratri. I am delighted that it chose my shop for this purpose,” media reports quoted Dheeraj Kumar, owner of Navatran Jewellers and Brothers where the theft took place. “Even if I find the diamond earrings, I will bestow it to the Kedarnath Temple,” he added.
