Rajkot : PM Narendra Modi arrived at the iconic Somnath Temple in Gujarat on Saturday to take part in the Somnath Swabhiman Parv. Thousands of people from both sides of the roads welcomed the Prime Minister as his convoy arrived at the Somnath Temple. The entire area was filled with a festive atmosphere to mark the historic occasion.
The Somnath Swabhiman Parv, being held from January 8 to 11, marks 1,000 years since the invasion of the temple by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1026. Despite repeated destruction attempts, the temple remains a symbol of faith and resilience. PM Modi landed at Heerasar Airport in Rajkot before departing for Somnath. He was welcomed by Cabinet Minister Kunwarji Bawliya and the Mayor of Rajkot at the airport.
Prime Minister Modi will participate in Omkar Mantra chanting at the temple around 8 PM on Saturday, according to an official release. On January 11, PM Modi will participate in Shaurya Yatra, a ceremonial procession organised to honour the countless warriors who laid down their lives defending the Somnath Temple. After that, he will perform darshan and pooja at the Somnath Temple.
