Somnath
Gujarat
Somnath, on the Arabian Sea coast of Gujarat, is home to the first of the twelve Jyotirlingas. The seaside temple complex is known for its calm setting and the evening Sound & Light show.
Best season to visit
November to February is pleasant and cooler. Mahashivratri and Kartik Purnima are especially significant but busier.
Safety & practical notes
The main complex is relatively flat and accessible. Follow security screening rules on prohibited items, and confirm the evening show schedule on the official trust portal.
