  • The temple of Somnath is the primary tourist attraction. It is one of the most ancient temples in India. It’s believed that the temple was built by the Moon God, Soma, with gold and by the Sun God, Ravi, with silver. Because of its richness in the past, it attracted a lot of invaders who came to India and plundered its wealth. It was invaded not once but 17 times by different rules. Despite that, the iconic temple still stands tall, still looks glorious, and unmoved with the disastrous incidents in the past. Do not miss watching the Light and Sound show which start at 7:15 pm. The show is about making people aware of the glorious history of the temple and other religious importance of the temple. Ticket costing is INR 25 and INR 15 for children.
    Somnath is an important pilgrimage and tourist spots in Gujarat on account of being a Triveni Sangam i.e. the confluence of three holy rivers: Kapila, Hiran and Sarasvati. Soma, the Moon god, is believed to have lost his lustre due to a curse, and he bathed in the Sarasvati River to restore it. The name of the town, meaning “the lord of the moon”, arises from this tradition. Primarily a temple town, Somnath also offers other attractions. The places to visit in Somnath derive their identity from Hindu myths and religion.
