Har Har Mahadev...🙏 What an absolutely mesmerizing experience! Somnath Temple isn't just a place of worship—it's a living testament to India's ancient heritage and unyielding spirit. Perched on the shores of the Arabian Sea, this iconic Jyotirlinga shrine radiates an aura of divine serenity and architectural grandeur that leaves you spellbound from the moment you arrive. The temple's white marble facade gleams under the sun, with intricate carvings that tell stories of devotion and resilience. Rebuilt multiple times after historical invasions, it stands tall as a symbol of rebirth—truly inspiring.

The Shree Somnath Jyotirlinga Temple, located in Prabhas Patan near Veraval in Gujarat, is one of the most sacred and ancient temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is revered as the first among the twelve Jyotirlingas, symbolizing the eternal presence of Lord Shiva as the “Protector of the Moon.” The name Somnath means “Lord of Soma (the Moon),” and the temple is believed to be the very spot where the Moon God, Chandra, worshipped Lord Shiva to regain his radiance. According to the Shiva Purana and Skanda Purana, Chandra was married to the 27 daughters of Daksha Prajapati, but he favored only Rohini, neglecting the others. Angered by this, Daksha cursed Chandra to lose his light. Seeking redemption, Chandra performed severe penance and worshipped Lord Shiva at Prabhas Patan. Pleased with his devotion, Lord Shiva restored his brilliance and assumed the name Somnath, promising to reside eternally at that place. Thus, the temple became one of the most important Jyotirlinga shrines and a center of worship for centuries. Historically, the Somnath Temple has been a symbol of resilience and faith. It is believed to have been originally built in gold by the Moon God, in silver by Ravana, in wood by Lord Krishna, and finally in stone by King Bhimdev of the Solanki dynasty around the 11th century. The temple faced multiple invasions due to its immense wealth and grandeur. It was first destroyed by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1026 CE, who looted its treasures and desecrated the shrine. Despite repeated destruction by invaders such as Alauddin Khilji’s generals, Bahadur Shah of Gujarat, and later Aurangzeb, the temple was rebuilt each time by devoted kings and followers. Its numerous reconstructions came to symbolize the indomitable spirit of Hindu faith. The present structure of the Somnath Temple was rebuilt in 1951 under the vision of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first Home Minister, and inaugurated by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, India’s first President. The current temple follows the Chalukya style of architecture, standing majestically on the western coast of India, facing the Arabian Sea. An inscription on its wall reads: “This is the first point of land in the east where the temple of Somnath stands, facing the never-setting Sun.” Today, Shree Somnath Temple stands not only as a sacred shrine of Lord Shiva but also as a timeless monument of devotion, courage, and rebirth — a beacon of India’s enduring spiritual heritage. Temple Timings: • Morning: 6:00 AM – 9:30 PM (Aarti: 7:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 7:00 PM)

A place needs to be cleaned and make it enjoyable. Evening with bhajan and chanting makes it so memorable moments and divine experiences.

No maintanence, no cleanliness, bathroom is also dirty, washbasen is leaking, room had a weird smell. Room charge is very high, could have got any decent hotel in this price only reason we choose this as it's near triveni sangam but completely disappointed.

There is no extra facilities like they handover room keys to you after that no room services like water bottal. If you want extra bed then you have to collect from another room by your self....clining wise is good....bt staff is very casual.....

Dwarka, Gujarat is a very beautiful place. It is famous as the city of Lord Krishna and has many religious and historical places.

Visited Triveni sangam atithigruh ; it was nice experience.nic clean and big room.we are 5 friends.got a room with 1500 5 bed room.nice garden .oposite to Triveni river

The rooms are not clean, no towels, no soaps, no watwr bottles provided. The pillows, bedsheets and blankets stink. Charges for the unclean room was 2000. Far away from Somnath temple. Proper food facility not available outside the compound.

"The hotel exceeded expectations! Clean, comfortable, and quiet. Staff were very helpful and attentive."

The Suraj Mandir (Sun Temple) is an ancient Hindu temple in Somnath, Gujarat, dedicated to the Sun God, located on the northern side of the Triveni Ghat. It is an important historical site near the Somnath Jyotirlinga Temple, known for its intricate architectural carvings of nature and animal figures. A key feature is the image of Surya, the Sun God, riding a chariot with seven horses above the main entrance, and within its premises is a small water body called the Surya Kund.

The Surya Temple, located very close to Pandav Gufa, is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Surya (the Sun God). The temple’s architecture is truly beautiful and reflects the elegance of traditional craftsmanship. It’s a peaceful place where you can offer prayers and take the blessings of Surya Dev. Just beside the temple, there is a kund (sacred pond), which adds to the temple’s spiritual charm. To get a closer view of the kund, you’ll need to climb down a few steps, though the water is not very clean. Despite that, the overall atmosphere is calm and divine, making it a nice spot to visit for those exploring the historical and religious sites around Somnath.

There is a Surya Kund attached with the temple. Few steps far Mata Hinglaj blesses devotees in a narrow gufa. Five Pandava cave is just adjacent to Sun temple. Suraj temple can also be viewed from nearby Kamnath Mahadev Mandir of Sarada Math. Triveni sangam is 100m away from the temple. Popular Name: Sun Temple

The temple offers a soulful experience, with the Surya Dev puja and rituals evoking a deep sense of reverence and gratitude."

Very olden architecture of the temple was good and well maintained, only lady claims as priest she sat on the priest place quick explained about what are things inside like Surya Bhagwan and all and asked for money.

Worth a visit to some unique temples in this area -surya tempe, paanch pandav kund and hinglaj mata temple
