Suraj Mandir

Somnath · India

Suraj Mandir

An ancient sun temple near Triveni Ghat, contemporary with the original Somnath Temple.

Suraj Mandir, also called Surya Mandir, stands close to Triveni Ghat in Prabhas Patan and is dedicated to the Sun God and his consort Chhaya Devi. Built in the Maru-Gurjara architectural style, the temple's pillars and walls carry intricate carvings of elephants, lions, and other figures from a bygone era. Like the Somnath Temple itself, it suffered repeated plundering and invasion through history. Though weathered today, it remains a striking reminder of the region's long devotional past.
