The Somnath temple is known as the ” Shrine Eternal “, the first of the twelve Jyotirlingas of  Lord Shiva. The Jyotirlingas are the most venerated shrines of Lord Shiva.

The temple is believed to have been first built in the 7th century BC by the Somnathpuri kings and then rebuilt and destroyed several times. The present temple was reconstructed in 1947 and is one of the most important places of pilgrimage for Hindus.

The temple has been demolished and reconstructed many times in its history. The main temple is today a large imposing structure built in the Chalukya style of architecture.

The first temple at Somnath was built by the Moon God, Soma, and his son, the Sun God, SURYA. Soma and Surya were two of the nine celestial gods or Navagrahas.
