Somnath Temple

The Somnath Temple is one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlinga shrines of Lord Shiva and one of the most revered Hindu pilgrimage sites in India, located on the Arabian Sea coast in Prabhas Patan. The current temple, rebuilt in the Chalukya style, stands majestically by the sea and hosts an atmospheric sound-and-light show in the evenings. It is approximately 85–90 km from Sasan Gir and makes for a highly rewarding full-day excursion.
