Somnath

Somnath – A Temple That Stands the Test of Time

Perched on the shores of the Arabian Sea, the Somnath Temple is not only a major pilgrimage site but also a symbol of resilience and spiritual devotion. It is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, making it one of the most revered temples for Hindus.

The temple has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times throughout history, with the current structure standing strong since 1951. Its magnificent Chalukya-style architecture and peaceful seaside setting make it both a spiritual and visual delight. In the evening, a light and sound show recounts the temple’s rich history, offering an immersive experience.

Highlights:

• Experience the power and peace of a Jyotirlinga

• Watch the evening light and sound show

• Visit Triveni Sangam nearby, where three holy rivers meet

• Enjoy the sea breeze and sunset from the temple’s promenade
