https://bit.ly/PNBSalarySavingsAccount Episode No: 941 The Somnath Temple, located on the shores of the Arabian Sea in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath district, is one of the most powerful symbols of India’s spiritual resilience and historical continuity. Known as the first among the twelve jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, the temple holds immense religious significance. But what truly sets it apart is not just its divinity but its defiance. In this episode of Tarikh, we trace the turbulent and fascinating journey of the Somnath Temple—from mythology to medieval invasions, from destruction to reconstruction, and from legend to political symbolism. Mythologically, it is believed that Chandra Dev, the Moon God, was cursed and regained his light here, giving the place its name — Prabhas, meaning radiance. Historically, Somnath has faced repeated attacks—most infamously by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1026 CE, who looted the temple after an 8-day battle and reportedly killed 50,000 devotees. But that was only the beginning. Over centuries, other rulers and invaders like Alauddin Khilji’s generals, Zafar Khan, and even Aurangzeb attempted to destroy or suppress the temple and the faith around it. Yet every time it was broken, it was built again—by rulers like King Bhoj, Bhimdev, and later Ahilyabai Holkar. The temple has also seen colonial intervention. In the 19th century, Lord Ellenborough ordered the return of the temple’s sandalwood gates from Ghazni to India, triggering debates in the British Parliament. Some scholars claim these moves were part of a larger plan to stir religious sentiments and strengthen colonial control over India’s diverse communities.Today, the Somnath Temple stands not just as a place of worship, but as a monument to India’s past — its faith, its fractures, and its fierce will to rise again. This episode delves deep into the many layers of Somnath’s story—religious, political, and symbolic. It asks: what makes a place sacred? Its architecture, its stories, or the spirit that refuses to fade? Nehru क्यों नहीं चाहते थे कि Rajendra Prasad Somnath Mandir का उद्घाटन करें?
