हलिया:
दोस्तों इस टॉपिक के माध्यम से हम पूरे कुमाऊं में हाट कालिका के नाम से विख्यात गंगोलीहाट के महाकाली मंदिर के बारे में बताएँगे।  जो पिथौरागढ़ से लगभग 77  किलोमीटर की दूरी पर देवदार के घने वृक्षों के बीच स्थित है।

हलिया:
स्वयं श्री शंकराचार्य जी ने इस स्थान पर शक्तिपीठ की स्थापना  की थी।


Gangolihat is situated at the point where the old Pithoragarh-Almora footpath meets with the new Ghat-Bageshwar motor road (घाट - बागेश्वर मोटर मार्ग). In ancient Hindu Literature Gangolihat, which lies between the rivers Saryu and Ramganga, is referred to amidst deodar forests, the Janhavi Naula  (जान्हवी नौला) and temple complex. Twice a year in Chairtra and Ashuj on the eighth day of the Navratras, a large fair is held at the Kalika temple. The Chamunda Devi temple is just 2 km to the southwest of Gangolihat. 5 km away along Gangolihat- chhaj Pabhain (छज पाभैं) is a Surya (Sun ) temple , the Sahil cave and a fascinating view of the Himalayas. The Mankeshwar tiple are the ruins of a Fort which once belonged to the Mankoti kings . 2km away is Uprana, the native village of poet 'Gumani', the first Kumaoni poet, who also wrote in Hindi, Sanskrit and with great dexterity and command.

It  is rich in folk culture, music and religious traditions  and had been chosen by Sankaracharya  for  the installation  of  Mahakali shaktipith (महाकाली शक्तिपीठ)  The Goddess  Kali  as  represented  in  her fierce form conquering  the  demon, is  offered sacrifices of  lambs and goats. In the opposite of  the Kali  temple about 2 Km. away   the Chamunda  temple is  situated which  is  believed  to  be  in  the  centre  of an area of wilderness exclusively possessed by spirits and  demons conquered by  the Goddess in her  fierce aspect. The temple has an aura of mystery and weird charm and during the dark hours of night the spirits are believed to have a free sway outside the temple premises.
