Somnath, literally translated as the Lord of Moon (Soma) houses the first of the 12 Jyotirlingas or the symbolic representation of Lord Shiva. The history of this temple is a highly troubled one as it was looted and destroyed as many as 17 times and was reconstructed every time. This highly famed pilgrim destination is located at the Viraval Port or Prabhas Pattan in Saurashtra, Gujrat.
