The Somnath Temple, located in Prabhas Patan near Veraval in Saurashtra, Gujarat, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and holds immense religious and historical significance.

The temple has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times due to invasions, with the first major attack by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1025 AD.

The temple follows the Chalukya style of Hindu temple architecture and features intricate carvings and a grand 50-meter tall Shikhar.

The temple is situated at the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Kapila, Hiran, and Sarasvati rivers.
