In this video you'll witness the first jyotirlinga Shri Somnath temple, the place from where arrow was shot on Lord Shri Krishna, Ban Gangeshwar mahadev and the place where arrow hit Lord Shri Krishna, Bhalka Tirth.
Somnath temple (Jyotirlinga) is a sacred Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located in the town of Prabhas Patan in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, India. It is believed to be the first among the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of Lord Shiva.
The name "Somnath" means "Lord of the Soma," referring to the moon god. It is believed that the moon god worshipped Lord Shiva at this location to be relieved of a curse placed on him by his father-in-law, Daksha.
The temple is an important pilgrimage site for Hindus and is visited by devotees from all over the world. It is open to visitors throughout the year, but the best time to visit is during the winter months when the weather is pleasant.
Ban Gengeshwar mahadev is situated near the sea shore and 1 km from Somnath mandir towards Veraval port. It is believed that an arrow was shot on Lord Shri krishna from here by a hunter named Jara. One can find two shivlinga here submerged in the water during high tide and can have clear sight of shivlinga during low tide. Best time to visit is winters.
Bhalka Tirth is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site located in the coastal town of Veraval in the western Indian state of Gujarat. It is believed to be the place where Lord Krishna was mistakenly shot in the foot by an arrow, leading to his departure from this world.
Lord Krishna was resting under a tree near the seashore when a hunter, mistaking him for a deer, shot an arrow at him. The arrow struck Lord Krishna's foot, and he left his earthly form to return to his heavenly abode. The tree under which Lord Krishna was resting and the spot where he was hit by the arrow are considered sacred, and a temple has been built here.
The Bhalka Tirth temple is an important pilgrimage site for Hindus, and devotees visit the temple to offer prayers and seek blessings. The temple complex includes a main temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, a smaller temple dedicated to his brother Balarama, and a holy pond called the Krishna Kund.
