The Somnath temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines sacred to Shiva and among the most significant pilgrimage sites in Hinduism, stands in Prabhas Patan — a locality in Gujarat's Gir Somnath district historically known as Dev Patan. The site draws Hindu pilgrims from across India and sits within walking distance of the coast.
