Ghorakhal
is a small place, which is famous for the temple
of Lord Golu worshipped by hill people perched at
an altitude of 2000 meters above the sea level.
It falls under Nainital district of Uttarakhand,
approximately 15 km away from Nainital and at a
distance of 3 Kms from Bhowali. 'Ghorakhal' literally
means a pond for water to horses. It is
a picturesque site, with natural serenity and placidity.
One of the famous attractions in Ghorakhal is Golu
Devta Temple, always in news for the unique rituals
performed here. One such ritual is that devotees
make petitions at the temple, using stamp papers,
to seek desired decree in litigations. On accomplishment
of their wish, the deity is shown gratitude by hanging
bells or making animal sacrifice.
The temple is characterized by the large number
of bells hanging in the premises. These bells are
hung by the devotees as offerings making a wish
or in thanksgiving on the fulfillment of ones wish.
Sacrifices of goats are offered to the deity which
was, at one time, a sort-of law court, that decided
several pleas received from the distressed people
of the region.
People from all over the region consider Golu Devta,
the presiding deity of the temple, to be an incarnation
of Lord Shiva and The God of Justice. |
