Somnath Temple is in news yet again but not for a very good reason. Now, non-Hindus will require special permission to visit the great temple (which is no less than an architectural marvel).

The legend of Somnath temple mythology is related to moon god and curse of his father in law Daksha prajapati. Moon god got married to 27 daughters of Daksha out of which he favoured Rohini and neglected the other queens. Daksha cursed Moon and moon lost power of light. With an advice from Brahma Deva, he worshiped Lord Shiva who returned his light.

According to opinion of Skanda Purana, Somnath Temple’s name will modify every time the world is recreated. It is supposed while Lord Brahma will form a new world after concluding the current one; Somnath will obtain the name of the PranNath Temple.
