Gita Mandir - Hindu temple in Somnath, Prabhas Patan - Gir Somnath, India

Nice and old temple. There are a total of 3 temples here. Its believed that lord krishna was given a funeral over here. There is a cave called balram cave. But its a small one. However not much to see in this place just an ordinary temple. You can see it withing 5-10 minutes

My experience at this temple was truly memorable. The tranquil ambiance, stunning architecture, well-maintained grounds, and friendly staff all contributed to a delightful visit. I highly recommend this temple to anyone seeking a peaceful and spiritually uplifting experience.
