Location: The temple is situated on the western coast of Gujarat, along the shores of the Arabian Sea, near the confluence of the rivers Kapila, Hiran, and Sarasvati.
Historical resilience: The temple has been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times throughout history, demonstrating the unwavering faith of devotees. The present temple was reconstructed in the Māru-Gurjara style of Hindu temple architecture.
Religious importance: As the first Jyotirlinga, Somnath is a major pilgrimage site for Hindus. Devotees believe that worshipping here helps achieve liberation (moksha).
Architecture and features: The magnificent structure features intricate carvings and a 150-foot-high spire. A unique feature is the Banastambha, a pillar with an inscription indicating there is no land in a straight line south of the temple until Antarctica.
Associated sites: The area around the temple is also sacred, including the Triveni Sangam (confluence of rivers), Bhalka Tirth (where Lord Krishna is said to have been mortally wounded), and Golok Dham
