Chitai Temple



Chitai Temple (Near Nainital/Almora in Uttaranchal, North India) is dedicated to Lord Golu. The people of Kumaon worship him as a Justice God. Saying goes that whatever wish you have if fullfilled once you convay the same to Lord Golu, here at the temple. Once a wish is fulfilled people hang little bells in this temple. Therefore there are thousands of little bells hanging there. The view of the Himalayas is extremely beautiful from here. This temple is 8 kms away by walk through a beautiful pine forest and also has a motorable road.

Trust me the sheer number of bells (my guess is more then 10000) of all possible size would surely make your haed spin here. Almost made me wonder as what would happen if all them start ringing at the same time :-)
