The Somnath Temple, located on the western coast of Gujarat, is the first among the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of Lord Shiva and is a highly revered pilgrimage site. The temple has a rich and tumultuous history, having been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The current structure, the Chalukya-style temple, stands as a symbol of resilience and faith. Its seaside location is spectacular, especially during sunset. The evening aarti, combined with a sound and light show that narrates the temple's history, is a captivating experience for pilgrims and tourists.
