Golu Devta Temple
A Hindu woman is waiting to offer prayers at the Golu Devta Temple (Bell Temple) in Ghorakhal, Uttarakhand, India, on April 20, 2024. Golu Devta is worshipped as a deity of justice by the Kumaoni and Garhwali communities. Devotees are visiting the temple to seek Golu Devta's intervention in long-running court cases or to overcome obstacles in their lives. They are hanging bells, with or without written pleas, on the temple's poles, and will return with larger bells if their requests are granted. Brass alloy bells are being sold at the puja item shops outside the temple. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
