One of the best places in India is Somnath Temple, its beauty is worth seeing. There is a good and cheap arrangement for food and drink. It is such a lovely place that you will not feel like coming from here. Must see the wonderful aura of Mahadev. Highly recommended.

One of the best experience visiting this majestic temple. It’s truly a blessed feeling to be here. The temple being so close to the Arabian Sea makes the experience truly awesome. While taking Darshan you can feel some inner feeling which has a calming influence. Important point to note is that you will need to deposit your belongings like purse , leather items and mobiles in the lockers before entering the temple. Same goes for footwear too.

This place is divine. You can find positive aura at this place. Light and sound show is must to attend. And the view of Arabian sea from the Temple is mesmerizing.

Great Historical and mythological place where you really feel good energy and good vibes. Too much Crowded on weekends. Shorts are not allowed here and any electrical gadgets including the Key of your car are prohibited here. Lights and sound shows the ticket counter starts after 5:30 you can buy in the temple. Great view must visit.

▪️The Somnath temple (also known as the Deo Patan) located in Prabhas Patan in Veraval in Saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat, India ▪️According to tradition, the Shivalinga in Somnath is the first among the 12 jyotirlingas in India, where Lord Shiva is believed to have appeared as a fiery column of light. The jyotirlingas are taken as the supreme, undivided reality out of which Lord Shiva partly appears. Each of the 12 jyotirlinga sites take the name of a different manifestation of Lord Shiva. At all these sites, the primary image is a lingam representing the beginning-less and endless stambha (pillar), symbolizing the infinite nature of Lord Shiva.

The temple is well managed, neat and clean. You will get positive vibes as soon as you enter temple premises. Mobile phones are not allowed inside, you will need to keep it in temple lockers which is chargeable. There is a telescope available to see the other "Shivalinga" which is near to the beach.

This temple is regarded as one of the most important Jyotirlinga because of all the sacrifice people made to keep it intact from the Mughal dynasty. The place is located just aside to the Sea so the view is magnificent. On the festive season it will take minimum 40-60 minute to get the Darshan, while on normal time, it will be much quicker. However the Government have ruined the place by building up a boundary between Sea & the temple (Commercialization of even viewing the Sea) and you can no more access the Sea as it was before. Even though must visit this place!

Somnath Temple stands as a symbol of spirituality and architectural grandeur. The sacred atmosphere and rich historical significance make it a must-visit pilgrimage site. The temple's stunning architecture, especially during evening aarti, creates a divine ambiance. The sea-facing location adds to the overall charm, offering breathtaking views. The meticulous maintenance and cleanliness contribute to a serene experience for devotees and tourists alike. Visiting Somnath Temple provides a spiritual journey enriched with culture and history, making it a spiritually uplifting destination.

This is a really pretty place. You can see the Jyotirlinga inside the temple without too many people around. I suggest going during the day, and there's a cool light and sound show in the evening. Don't worry about big crowds; they manage it well, so it's usually 30-45 minutes. It was clean, and the people there were friendly and helpful. The temple felt calm, and I really liked it. The buildings and surroundings were cool. I want to go there again. But there are some rules: You can't bring car keys, digital watches, wallets, purses, bags, phones, or shoes. The temple has a place to leave these things. Only small purses are allowed, and there's a free stand for shoes inside. There are Prasad counters outside, and if one is busy, just go to another one. If you're not sure, ask a security person or someone from the temple for help.

The Somnath temple is located along the coastline in Prabhas Patan near Veraval, Saurashtra region of Gujarat. Somnath temple has been a jyotirlinga site for the Hindus. Every Shiv bhakt must visit once. Gujarat tourism maintain it very well and develop very well around temple.

One of those holy places which will cut you from the real world issues and will take you closer to the almighty! First Jyotirling of the world and have an amazing story attached with it related to Som (moon). The temple is gigantic and the contrasting colours make the vibes even more soothing! There will be rush most of the times here, but you’ll experience something great for sure.

This is such a beautiful and peaceful place to be in.... The temple is very well maintained and built... The architecture of the temple is so beautiful.... Also, the temple is located beside the sea having spectacular views...visiting Somnath temple was a good experience

Visited Somnath temple multiple times with friends and family. Place is divine place and you will find inner peace here. Garden outside the temple is well maintained. Outside the temple you will find very well designed place where awesome view of the sea will be visible.

one of the major Shiva temples in the country considered to be one among the first 12 jyothirlinga shiv temple. Located in Saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat. The temple was destroyed many a times by the Muslim emperors that ruled India and was last reconstructed in 1951 as part of an understanding that was reached between the Hindu majority of the area and the Indian political leaders back during the time of independence in order to join the Indian union as opposed to the decision of the then ruler of the area decided to cede to and join Pakistan. This is a Well maintained Temple with a lot of greenery at the seashore of Arabian sea.Drinking water and toilets are available... Baggage Counters , Shoe counters are available.

Shri Somnath Mandir Located in Prabhas Patan in Veraval, Gujarat, Somnath is 1st among 12 Jyotirlingas. Temple has been looted, destroyed 17 times & reconstructed 18 times. Today Somnath temple stands in its full glory inspiring us showing the power of our culture. Story of the temple is related to Chandra Deva who married 27 daughters of Daksha Prajapathi, but he took care of Rohini ( One among them) more. Daksha cursed Chandra to lose his brightness. Chandra came here & prayed to Paramashiva. Pleased with him, Mahadev blesses Chandra. Mahadev relieves Chandra from his curse. Brahma asked Chandra to construct a temple for Paramashiva, and Chandra is said to have constructed the Somnath Temple. This is why, Paramashiva is worshipped as Somnath (Deva of Soma or Chandra). ॐ नमः शिवाय। ଓଁ ନମଃ ଶିବାୟ। Om Namah Shivaya 🙏🕉🙏

One of the best places i have ever visited. The atmosphere was awesome. If you are visiting the place i would suggest you to stay there for sunset. The sound of the Waves during Lord Somnath arti will be something you will never forget. Life is small journey and you will realise it when you will hear about story of Destruction and construction of Somnath temple which lasted for more than 1500 years.

It is well maintained temple. There is cleanliness and if you stand on the back of it you will hear water which is very pleasant. There is only one problem shoe management is not good everyone keeps theirs shoes everywhere rahter than in the rack by trust because no one tells them and the rack is on the corner not easily visible

A peaceful place,i loved visiting Somnath Mahadev. On the other side of temple there's a beautiful beach. The aarti in the evening was so beautiful,that just gave me Goosebumps. I felt an different energy inside the temple. You have to keep your electronic items out from the temple because of the Z+ Security.

Somnath jyotirling is 1st Jyotirling of India and first of it's kind. You can enjoy there with your family and loved ones. Just keep in mind that you have to book hotel rooms in advance to avoid wastage of time when you visit there. Early in the morning there is less crowded , so you can have positive vibes in the temple area with your family. Another thine I want to describe here that at the entry you have to submit your mobile phones, so provide your contact details with small children means in case of missing, it will be easy to find. The night view is so beautiful and heartwarming. Jay Somnath🙏🏼⛳

The first Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva is located in Somnath (Gujarat). Somnath is a symbol of devotion and faith. The temple complex is very grand and huge. In the temple complex itself, all the Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva have been illustrated. The Somnath temple is built near the Arabian Sea, yet the temple complex is quite peaceful. There is a separate place for chanting mantras in the temple. The temple is famous for its artistic and grandeur.

Definitely heartwarming views at the photo point. The sound of the waves touching rocks is soo soothing. Mandir and place both deserves a visit.

Somnath is a magnificent temple situated in Sagar Kant of Saurashtra in Gujarat state. One of the 12 holy Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva is in Jyotirlinga here in Somnath. Somnath is also mentioned in Rigveda. This temple of Somnath has been very attractive in front of many destructive foreign invaders who want to lure and convert to the temple glory. Whenever the temple has tried to destroy it, then it has been built again. SOMNATH Somnath’s first temple is said to have existed 2000 years ago. Is. In 649 AD, King Maitre of Vallabhini built a second temple in place of the temple and renovated it. In 725, the old ruler of Sindh took his army and attacked the temple and destroyed the temple. Pratishtha King Nag Bhatt II constructed the temple for the third time in 815 using a red stone (sandstone) stone. In 1026, Mahmud Ghazni lent the precious jewels and property of Somnath temple. After looting, slaughtering innumerable pilgrims of the temple and burning the temple and destroying it. During 1026-1042 Solanki Raja Bhimdev built the fourth temple of Bhoj and Anhilwad Patan, Parmar King of Malwa.Somnath was destroyed when Delhi Sultanate occupied Gujarat in 1299. In 1394 it was destroyed again. In 1706, Mughal ruler Aurangzeb again demolished the temple. RECONSTRUCTION India’s Iron Man and First Deputy Prime Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on November 13, 1947 promised to rebuild the temple. Today’s Somnath Temple is built on its original place in seventh place. When the temple was rebuilt on December 1, 1995, then the Indian President Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma dedicated the temple to the country. In 1951, when India’s first President Dr. When Rajendra Prasad proposed to purify Jyotirling, he said, “This temple of Somnath is a symbol of victory over construction on destruction”. [Citation needed] The temple is built under Shri Somnath Trust And this trust is now monitoring the temple. Currently the chairman of the trust is former chief minister Keshubhai Patel and Sardar Patel was the first chairman of this trust. The Kailash Mahameru Prasad Temple, built by Chalukya style, has a spectacular display of the art of Sompura artisans of Gujarat. This type of construction has not happened in the last 800 years. According to the inscription written in Sanskrit on the coast, only the sea exists between the temple and the southern part of the planet and there is no land. #somnathjyortiling #gujarat #gujarattourisum #travelbug #_sinchan9

Actually i visits this temple in year 2019, One of my best experienced. We(me nd my friends) reached there sharp 7 p.m then at night 10 i forced my friend chal naa bhai ATM se paisa nikalte he paisa nehi h, he say ok from my hotel to Somnath mandir 4 mins by walking and i dont know that😅😅 Its a miracle of god bcz outside of my hotel there 7 atms side by side, but cant take out money from any atm, i walk 4 mins and ask a police where is atm he show me that from right there is a SBI atm. When i reach im astonished to See Somnath temple from outside, i just Kneel on my knees outside temple and deeply cry inside and said Baba tujhe darshan to kal subah karunga par tune to apna ghar abhi dikha diya ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️night photo attached. In morning exactly 6:30 reach there and take 7 rounds and see 7 times jyotirlinga bcz at that time there is not so much crowd. At evening i took 3 round to see aarti. Thats one of my best experienced i gather from there . HAR HAR MAHADEV JAY SHIV SAMBHU DAMBRU BALE KI JAYE JAY BABA❤️❤️❤️ There some information regarding Somnath given below:- The Somnath temple, also called Somanātha temple or Deo Patan, is a Hindu temple located in Prabhas Patan, Veraval in Gujarat, India. It is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites for Hindus and is believed to be first among the twelve jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva.The temple was reconstructed several times in the past after repeated destruction by multiple Muslim invaders and rulers, notably starting from an attack by Mahmud Ghazni in the 11th century.It is unclear when the first version of the Somnath temple was built with estimates varying between the early centuries of the 1st-millennium to about the 9th-century CE...

One of the finest temple I have visited. The place is full of divine spirituality and majestic display of beautiful sculpture and architecture. There is a beautiful view of Arabian sea in the left side of temple.

The Somnath temple is believed to be the first among the twelve Jyotirling shrines of Shiv. It is an important pilgrimage and tourist spot of Gujarat. Reconstructed several times in the past after repeated destruction by several invaders and rulers, the present temple was reconstructed in the Chalukya Style of Hundu temple architecture and completed in May 1951. The Somnath temple signifies that the power of reconstruction is always greater than the power of destruction."

Temple looking pretty 😯attractive and big area for car parking near 400 meter from somnath temple..

When I came to know about it's history and it's cultural importance, I leads to great fascination. It is such a great archeological and religious site to visit. Definitely, it is situated on the seashore and the view is great. Natural beauty is commendable... Moreover, for Hindu religion, it's like must visited place.. But for other religions also you can visit it for natural asthetic. Coming to transport... Here, the main problem is road connectivity is good but the road are somewhere broken ( very few) , but it affects your speed.. No, train facilities directly. Overall, a great place to visit and have fun !!!!

Very beautiful place, specially in the evening. Definitely worth visiting, even to spend at least few hours in somnath only. Temple is just oposite to Main busy stand and few minites by walk from the beach.

It is one among 12 jyotirlinga. It is a very beautiful and marvelous place to visit with family. We feel very peaceful and relax. Laser show is also nice...

Amazing place. A place where we get perfect peace. People are also very helpful. A small market is there out of the temple where you can buy different handicrafts, stones and jewelry💎

Very peaceful place. Just sit inside the campus area for sometime and feel the energy by yourself.

The temple has it's own vibe. Either you are an atheist or theist the atmosphere there is very soothing and relaxing 😊 Sardar patel has a very great contribution for the temple. You'll have the arabian sea surrounding the temple....and the cool breeze which flows around makes you feel good☺️

The Somnath Jyotirlinga Temple is located at Somnath, the western coast of Gujarat. It is first of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of Lord Shiva. It is one of the oldest temples of the country. It is said that the temple was looted and destroyed as many as seventeen times by invaders 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. The temple is well secured and well maintained. Light and sound show held every evening at the temple premises is very informative and captivating. The temple attracts millions of devotees across the world all throughout the year.

The peace u get here can't be expressed in words.

OM NAMAH SHIVAY 🙏🙏🙏 According to tradition, the shivling in Somnath is one of the 12 nyotirlinga in India, where shiva is believed to have appeared as a fiery column of light. The jyotirlingas are taken as the supreme, undivided reality out of which Shiva partly appears. Each of the 12 jyotirlinga sites take the name of a different manifestation of Shiva. At all these sites, the primary image is a lingam representing the beginning-less and endless stambha (pillar), symbolizing the infinite nature of Shiva. In addition to the one at Somnath. The site of Somnath has been a pilgrimage site from ancient times on account of being a triveni sangam (the confluence of three rivers: Kapila, Hiran and the mythical Saraswati). 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. According to popular tradition documented by j Gordon, the first Shiva temple at Somnath is believed to have been built at some unknown time in the past. The second temple is said to have been built at the same site by the "Yadava kings" of vallabhi around 649 CE. In 725 CE, Al-Junayd, the Arab governor of sindh is said to have destroyed the second temple as part of his invasions of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The Gurjara pratihara king Nagabhata 2is said to have constructed the third temple in 815 CE, a large structure of red sandstone.

Nice

That's amazing place Shri somnaath Mahadev temple I visit last diwali vacation So many people visit lot's of festival🎉 Such as beautiful place ✨ Somanath mahadev temple near beach🏖 Amazing 😍 ocean🌊 view I personally suggest visit ones time

One of the best & must visit places to visit. Very Calm and peaceful. The Somnath temple trust is doing very wonderful work very well managed. One must visit the temple museum where 12 jyotirling are presented with it's history. Behind the temple there is a great view of sea one can sit on bench and enjoy the peaceful sound of waves in the evening. It also has a Night light show at 18:30 hours till 20:00 hours.

Beautiful temple near the sea. Feel divine while visiting this temple. Everything has been arranged systematically and darshan can be done really fast during the weekdays. There is also a walking/cycling track that has been created next to the temple with a view of the sea. A must visit Jyotirling temple for all.

Peaceful place. The beauty of this temple is mesmerizing. Amazing art work and design. The environment around and outer of this temple is also very good. Amazing view of sea from the top. Try to visit in evening the temple looks beautiful with lights.

Very beautiful and Mesmerizing temple near by ocean. The Temple is built at a beautiful location. Phones are not allowed inside the temple you have to submit outside in a locker which is free of charge. The Lord Shiva art gallery inside the temple is enchanting showing the description of 12 jyotirling of Lord shiva embossed on a stone platform. The back view of the Temple will relax your mind and heart because of the ocean view. Phones are not allowed otherwise would have posted pictures of the temple from inside and in the premises. The pictures I have posted have been taken from outside. Will visit again as there were some other small tourist attractions that were missed will get that covered in another Travel Vlog.

What a place to be. It calms you down from within. Very neat and clean. The Prasad is delicious. There is light show in the evening as well here if someone is visiting in the evening.

Somnath temple is considered and believed to be the first jyotirlinga in India. Very beautiful and calm place. After renovation, this place become more beautiful. You can see the beautiful sea view with sunset.

This place is perfect in terms of everything like it is easily reachable from railway station. I visited the temple twice in 2 days. The main thing that I liked about this temple is crow management. It took me around 40-50 minutes both the times to visit the temple. The sea view and temple view is amazing as it is situated near to sea. Also light show is amazing. One who go for light show, get to know about the history of Somnath and little bit information about Krishna's story in the voice of Amitabh Bahchan.

1st jyotirlinga among 12. Must visit to get blessed. Temple area is quite huge and we'll maintained. Plan to visit on week days as it is crowded on weekends. You can't take your mobile phone , camera, smart watch inside the temple premises so ready accordingly. They have laser and sound show on everyday by 8 pm, must watch show to know the history of somnath.

A temple of Lord Shiva near the sea. Temple is neat and clean. System for que was very good. They deposit mobile before enter in temple that is good too.

It is first jyotirlinga of lord Shiva. Week days waiting time for darshana is very less approx 10-15 min .

I will suggest to everyone kindly visit this place with your family. You can book hotels & dharmshala hosted by Somnath temple trust in advance. And visit this temple before 10am then you will worship and see lord SHIVA properly. After 10am you have to stand on a long queue. You have to come first VERAVAL RAILWAY STATION and after it you can book an auto rickshaw for Somnath temple.

Embarked on a transformative journey to Shree Somenath Jyotirling Temple, and it turned out to be the best weekend of my life. The 10-hour scenic route from Ahmedabad Geeta Mandir, traversed in a comfortable AC sleeper bus (priced at 600 INR), set the tone for the upcoming spiritual retreat. Opted for a two-day stay at a hotel, investing 1000 INR, excluding meals. The anticipation heightened as I approached the temple, only to encounter a unique security measure—electronics were to be left outside. After a meticulous check and a brief waiting period, I stepped into the temple premises. The temple's interior is a testament to architectural brilliance, adorned with intricate details that hold historical and spiritual significance. The soul-stirring instrumental music resonates through the air, creating an indescribable, ear-pleasing ambiance. It's a sensory experience that transcends the ordinary. Beyond the temple, the surrounding places share the same divine aura, offering a serene escape. Visiting nearby spots like Triveni Sangam and Dehotsarg Tirth added layers to the spiritual journey, each place contributing to the overall serenity. The atmosphere is not just calming; it's a profound disconnect from the relentless hustle of the outside world. It's an oasis of peace, allowing for introspection and spiritual rejuvenation. Adding to the overall charm are the warm and welcoming people, creating an environment of inclusivity and shared spirituality. Every corner explored seemed to unfold a new layer of the rich cultural and religious tapestry. Venturing into nearby places enriched the experience, providing a comprehensive understanding of the spiritual significance of the region. Shree Somenath Jyotirling Temple isn't merely a destination; it's a transformative journey, a sanctuary for the soul, leaving an indelible mark on the essence of the weekend.

Really blessed to have a darshan at this jyothirling, we visited during October month and it was less crowded, in fact we have seen the main idol two times due less people. The place was very peaceful to spend time and experience the sea from the temple. I recommend you to visit during early morning or late evening as I have experienced it’s too hot to walk outside of the main temple during noon time.

Visiting the Somnath Mahadev Temple was a profound experience. The architectural grandeur and spiritual aura create a captivating atmosphere. The rhythmic chants and the sound of the waves in the backdrop enhance the overall sense of serenity. Witnessing the evening aarti by the sacred shores adds a celestial touch to the visit. The historical significance and religious fervor make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a blend of culture and spirituality.

Very beautiful Template. Very well managed & architecture. Management inside the temple is not at all disciplined & send everyone at a time create unnessary crowded. Temple has very strict security & do not allow before entering the temple, it's important to follow certain rules and prohibitions, such as: 1. Mobile phones are not allowed inside. 2. Digital or electric items, including car keys, are not allowed. 3. Digital watches are not allowed. 4. Bags are not allowed. 5. Belt not allowed It's better to keep only cash. Laser show is very beautiful & very well explained the history of Somnath.

The Somnath Temple, nestled on the western coast of Gujarat, India, is more than just a place of worship; it's a testament to human resilience, rich history, and architectural magnificence. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, the temple holds its place as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, making it a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus worldwide. The temple's location, perched on the edge of the Arabian Sea, adds to its charm. Watching the sun rise over the ocean from the temple grounds is an experience that will stay with you forever. You can also visit the nearby Patan Somnath Temple, believed to be the original site of the Jyotirlinga, or take a stroll along the scenic beach.

The Somanath temple or Deo Patan, is a Hindu temple located in Prabhas Patan, Veraval in Gujarat, India. It is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites for Hindus and is the first among the twelve jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva. Except mobile and electronics items all can be taken inside. Light show was average but you can see it without tickets. Temple architecture is one of the class. You can keep shoes inside the entry gate and mobile phones outside the gate for free. The intricately carved honey-coloured Somnath temple on the western edge of the state is believed to be the place where the first of the twelve holy jyotirlingas emerged in India – a spot where Shiva appeared as a fiery column of light.

Peaceful temple at sea side. Wind and sound of ocean makes this place eternal and takes you near to nature and feels devine presence of eternity. No phoyography allowed so you leaves all maya of digital world out side,it just you nature and shree somnath to see arround. Beach and track out side present out of temple makes this place perfect to visit and spend sunset at beach. Must visit

Somnath Temple is the first Jyotirling . It has excellent carving and the peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. The temple was raided and looted 17 times and demolished by Mahmud Ghazni . It was reconstructed by the Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel . Moving on from history , I suggest to attend the aarti which happens 3 times a day ( 7am , 12 noon and 7pm) and watch the laser show which starts from 8pm and has entry ticket of Rs.30(not sure).
