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.
Ghorakhal falls under Nainital district of Uttarakhand,
approximately 15 km away from Nainital the Sarovar
Nagri and at a distance of 3 Kms from Bhowali.
Ghorakhal literally means a pond for water to horses.
Ghorakhal 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 Ghorakhal 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 Ghorakhal 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. |
