Golu Devata Udepur, Hindu temple in Chitai, India
The Chitai Golu Devta Temple stands 8.5 kilometers from Almora, surrounded by dense Chir pine forests and decorated with thousands of copper bells.
Built in the 12th century under the Chand Dynasty, this temple features a white statue depicting Lord Golu, an incarnation of Shiva, mounted on a horse.
Devotees write their requests for justice on white paper, attach them with bells at the temple, following a tradition deeply rooted in Kumaoni customs.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from 6 AM to 10 PM, with optimal visiting conditions from March to June and October to May.
Each day, petitioners hang written appeals alongside bells throughout the temple complex, creating a distinct display of copper chimes and paper requests.
