Somnath - Nageshwar

Somnath, revered as the first among the twelve Jyotirlingas, stands on the shores of the Arabian Sea in Gujarat, symbolizing the eternal power of Lord Shiva. Known as “The Protector of the Moon God,” it is believed that Shiva manifested here to relieve Chandra from a curse, restoring his brilliance. The temple’s history is a saga of resilience, having been rebuilt multiple times after invasions, yet continuing to radiate faith and devotion. A visit to Somnath is considered a journey into the timeless strength and grace of Mahadev.

Nageshwar, also located in Gujarat, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and is associated with Lord Shiva as the divine protector from all forms of poison and negativity. Legend says that a devotee named Supriya was saved here from a demon by the Lord Himself, who took the form of the Jyotirlinga. The towering statue of Shiva and the serene temple complex near Dwarka make it a powerful site for seekers wishing to overcome fear, obstacles, and inner darkness.
