It is not just the temple, but other tourist attractions like Somnath Museum, Somnath beach and Junagadh Gate also attract visitors. The Sound and Light Show held in the temple is another attraction.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday made a pilgrimage to the Somnath temple in Gujarat's Gir Somnath district, where he prayed at the sacred Shiva shrine, the first of the 12 Jyotirlingas.
