 I am researching rats and their interaction with people in buildings,
 specifically the archaeology of rats' nests and clues to cultural life in a
 house. Someone mentioned seeing something on the History Channel about a
 temple in India honoring rats. Does anyone know anything specific about
 this place or others like it? Books where I can read and see such places? And
 any  stories about rats' nests or other rats-architecture connections would
be
 very much appreciated.
