Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday shared throwback pictures from one of his previous visits to the Somnath Temple in Gujarat to commemorate Somnath Swabhiman Parv.
“The Somnath Swabhiman Parv is commencing auspiciously from today. A thousand years ago, in January 1026, the Somnath Temple endured the first attack in its history. The attack of the year 1026 and the numerous assaults that followed thereafter could not shake our eternal faith,” PM Modi said in a post on X.
The prime minister is scheduled to take part in the Somnath Swabhiman Parv at the temple on January 11. Modi also shared some pictures from his previous visits to Somnath and urged his followers to share their photos using the hashtag #SomnathSwabhimanParv.
PM Modi also shared some glimpses from a programme held at Somnath on October 31, 2001, to mark 50 years since the rebuilt temple opened its doors in the presence of then-president Rajendra Prasad in 1951.
