SOMNATH MAHADEV

The Somnath temple located in Prabhas Patan near Junagadh in Saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat.India is believed to be the first among the twelve jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva.It is an important pilgrimage and tourist spot of Gujarat.Reconstructed several times in the past after repeated destruction by several Muslim invaders and rulers,the present temple was reconstructed in Chaulukya style of Hindu temple architecture and completed in May 1951.The reconstruction was started under the orders of the Home Minister of India Vallabhbhai Patel and completed after his death.

The site of Somnath has been a pilgrimage site from ancient times on account of being a triveni sangam (Kapila, Hiran and the Sarasvati).Soma,the Moon god, is believed to have lost his lustre due to a curse, and he bathed in the Sarasvati River at this site to regain it.The result is the waxing and waning of the moon, no doubt an allusion to the waxing and waning of the tides at this seashore location.The name of the town Prabhas, meaning lustre,as well as the alternative names Someshvar and Somnath ("the lord of the moon" or "the moon god") arise from this tradition.

Many Tourist is visit to the somnath people during the year most of them is visit in Indian month Sharavana(July-August) is the holly month of Hindu.
