The highlight for many is the reconstructed 12th-century shrine from the main temple, complete with delicately carved ceilings and it also showcases spiritual paintings. Brief History: It is said that the ancient shrine was refurbished by the Chalukyan Maharaja Shri Mularaja Deva Solanki of Anhilvada Patan.
This place has so much stories to tell. So many historical artifacts but there is just no one to tell you the relevance and history. I just wonder how come such a great place be kept is such a shabby manner. Even the information available is there only in Gujarati. I assume they are not expecting much of national and international visitors at this place. Very promising but very disappointing.
You should visit this place if you love ancient scripture else you can ignore this place.
It would hardly take around an hour to visit this place.
How Far?
* 10 minutes walking distance from Somnath Mandir.
the place is known as triveni sangam of hiran,kapila and gup sarasvati. this place has peaceful nature and there is a beautiful gayatri temple near to it. also there is pandavas cave and near to it the 'charan paduka' of lord krishna according to mythology. beautiful place specially in monsoon. i visited it more than 5 times.
Good place to visit for history buffs.
You will be able to see the remains of the old Somnath temple that were excavated during the construction of new temple. They need to increase their ticket price for proper upkeep of this place. And more publicity/advertising around the temple would help increase footfall here.
Small but have very important artifacts from the old Somnath Temple. It is just 15-20 min walking distance from the Somnath Temple.
Place to see remains of old somnath temple. Has good collection, but lacks description.
Entry fee is Rs. 5 & mobile/camera photography fee is Rs 100. No need to buy photo ticket (in my view), Nothing that photogenic that you would like to store.
