Originally the village was called 'dus- nok' meaning ten corners as taking ten corners of ten villages to form it.

The most striking feature about Deshnok temple is that it is inhabited by number of brown rats, which rush around the complex without any fear. It is considered that these rats carry the soul of dead charans. Devotees offer milk, grains and sweets to these rats during the time to aarti. Sighting a white mouse (Kaba in local language) is considered to be auspicious. It is believed that the Maharaja of Bikaner had a vision in which the goddess asked him to protect the rats and for this reason, there are special holes around the temple courtyard to fascinate the rats' movements, and a wire grill has been placed over the courtyard to prevent the birds of prey and other predators consuming the holy rodents.
