Golu Devta Temple in Kumaon near Nainital

Golu Devta Temple is near Nainital and is one of most visited temple in Kumaon. Most of the tourist who visit Nainital try to visit this temple while returning from Nainital.
This is said Golu Devta is incarnation of Lord Shita (Gaur Bhairav) and is worshiped all over the Kumaon.
There are a lot of stories (Tales) about Golu Devta and couple of them are already published on Wikipedia and other websites.
I have been there recently and I must say these temples make you think of God in real sense, where you see nature and you believe that at some point of time the Gods must been living on these hills. You can see lots of bells offered by the devotees after their wishes are fullfilled after visiting the temples.
There are couple of other temples spread all over kumaon and most famous among them are in Champwat, Chitai and Ghorakhal.
