Somnath Temple

Somnath Temple, located at Prabhas Patan near Veraval in Gujarat, is one of the most revered pilgrimage destinations in India and is traditionally regarded as the first among the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.

Situated beside the Arabian Sea, the temple combines religious significance with a beautiful coastal setting. The present temple showcases the traditional Chalukya-style architectural tradition and attracts pilgrims and tourists throughout the year.

The Somnath pilgrimage experience also includes the surrounding sacred sites of Prabhas Patan and the coastal area. Visitors can attend darshan, experience the temple atmosphere and enjoy the famous evening light and sound presentation when it is operational.

Somnath is an important destination for travellers following the Dwarka–Somnath pilgrimage route and can be conveniently included in a Gujarat religious tour.
