What A History Of Somnath Temple Tells You!

The Somnath Temple (Veraval in Gujarat, India) holds the reputation of being one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites for the Hindus. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. In this post, you will come to know about Somnath Temple History.Several Muslim invaders repeatedly destroyed the Somnath Temple. As a result, it is still unclear about the first version of Somnath Temple; however, it is estimated that the first Somnath Temple was built between the early centuries of the 1st-millennium to about the 9th-century CE. #ahilyabaiholkar


The present structure was built after India got independence. Vallabhbhai Patel (the First Home Minister of India) ordered the reconstruction of Somnath Temple, which was completed in May 1951 after his death.
The Somnath Temple is situated along the coastline near Veraval in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. This place is nearly 400 kilometers southwest of Ahmadabad.
The region was a major harbor for seafaring people in ancient India. Archeological evidence suggests that the site (Prabhas Patan) was occupied during the Indus Valley Civilization (2000-1200 BCE).
The #Somnath Temple is a Jyotirlinga Site for the Hindus. The meaning of Somnath is “Lord of the Soma” or “Moon.” It is one of the most sacred Shiva pilgrimage sites and is mentioned in the Shiva Purana.
Moreover, many literary texts suggest that the Somnath Temple was the most revered Jyotirlinga Tirtha for the Hindus.
According to Hindu mythology, the Moon God (Soma or Chandra Deva) regained his brilliance after bathing in the mythical Saraswati River. The word Somnath arises from this tradition.
The Hindus describe the region as a sacred site where Arjuna and Balaram go on Tirtha. It is also the place where Lord Krishna chooses to go to spend his final days on earth and then dies. The famous Indian poet Kalidasa mentions Somnath-Prabhasa as one of the most revered Shiva pilgrimage sites of his times.
Somnath Temple is where Lord Shiva appeared as a fiery column of light.
It is believed that the Moon God first built the temple of gold; it was rebuilt by Ravana in silver, by Krishna in wood, and then by Bhimdeva in wood.
The present structure is built following traditional designs on the original coastal site. The temple is painted with creamy color and has a fine structure.
The Shiva Lingam at the heart of the temple is large and black and is regarded as one of the twelve most sacred Shiva shrines.
