Somnath Temple, Somnath Overview
The Somnath Temple is one of the most sacred and historically significant temples in India, revered as the first of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Located on the shores of the Arabian Sea in Gujarat, the temple has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times over centuries. Its present structure is a striking example of Chalukyan-style architecture, with a spiritual atmosphere and panoramic sea views.
The temple is known as an eternal shrine owing to its perseverance against the test of time. It has withstood several destructions in the past and still has not lost its beauty. It is said that the temple was looted and destroyed as many as seventeen times by emperors like Mahmud Ghazni, Alauddin Khilji, and Aurangzeb.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was the force behind the revival and reconstruction of the present-day temple in 1951 which still serves as a notable edifice of the original Somnath Temple. It attracts millions of devotees all throughout the year.
