Somnath Jyotirlinga
 |
| Somnath Temple |
Somnath: is arguably the most famous of all Jyotirlinga's given the number of references it gets in historical accounts. The temple has been reconstructed and located right at the sea shore which provides an amazing setting. The temple is constructed in the North Indian style with the Shikhara towering over the skyline of Somnath town.
The temple symbolized that "The Power of reconstruction is greater than the power of destruction."
How to Reach:
Airport: The nearest airport is at Diu.
Trains: The railway station is served by a number of trains and not located very far from the temples.
By Road: Gujarat has an amazing road infrastructure. We actually drove from Ahmadabad taking stops on the way and it was a good experience. You could take a taxi or buses.
Tips:
- Cannot touch the Jyotirling nor can any puja be performed.
- Plan your trip that you can see the Sound and Light show. It is AMAZING. The high beam lazers are used with the shikhara serving as the backdrop on which the entire history of Somnath is narrated by Mr. Amitabh Bachhan.

- Gir Lion Sanctuary: The lion sanctuary is major nearby attraction. Remember to book the SAFARI in advance as it tends to get full and there are limited slots only. In case you still miss it you can opt of a limited safari and will get to see a couple of lions. The shop also sells some really cool stuff.
Dwarka: Atlantis of the East is also not very far from Somnath and it is recommended to visit the same.
