Normally three days pooja or 9 days pooja is performed to worship Lord Golu Devta, who is known as Goreel Devta in Chamoli District. Golu Devta is offered ghee, milk, curd, halwa, poori, and pakauri .Golu Devta is offered with White Cloths, white pagari and white shaal

#GoluDev used to travel far distances on his horse and used to meet people of his #kingdom, in a practice called #GoluDarbar: He used to hear the problems of people & help them in any way possible. He had a special place for people in his heart and was always ready to help them

Due to his complete dedication to people, he led a very simple life, following the principles of #brahmacharya. He still meets with his people and #Goludarbar is still prevalent, where he appears in front of people, listens to their problems and helps people in every way possible

In present times, the most common form of #GoluDev #Darbar is #Jagar. Golu Dev always had a special place in his heart for his white #horse, and it is believed that he still rides his white horse to #travel around.

He is regarded as the dispenser of justice. Historically, he is considered as the brave son of king #JhalRai and his wife #Kalinka. His grandfather was Hal Rai and great-grandfather was Hal Rai. Historically Champawat is considered as the origin of #GoluDevta
