As the country slowly but surely reconnects with its spiritual and cultural roots, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Somnath from 10 to 11 January 2026 to take part in the Somnath Swabhiman Parv, a spiritual demonstration of the power of faith, endurance, and equanimity of mind.
The four-day event, stretching from 8 to 11 January, is a tribute to the bravery of generations who not only guarded the Somnath Temple but also kept the Indian spiritual flame alive during the hardest times. The Prime Minister’s presence is seen as more than a ritualistic visit, it symbolises the collective “Om” of a nation rediscovering its traditions, values, and identity.
For many, watching the Prime Minister take a step toward spiritual revival is deeply uplifting, especially for the youth seeking meaning beyond the chaos of modernity.

What Is Significance of the ‘Somnath Swabhiman Parv’?
To every Hindu Indian, the Somnath Swabhiman Parv is not just a celebration but a shared acknowledgement and a moment of quiet pride for the entire community. The event, marking the invasion of Somnath by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1026, reminds us that although stones have been broken many times, faith has never been defeated. Somnath is a temple that refuses to submit to either time or tyranny; through centuries of destruction and rebuilding, it has remained a living symbol of dharma, resilience, and civilisational continuity.
The Parv also pays tribute to a defining moment of independent India, when Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in 1951 led the sacred task of restoring Somnath, culminating in its reopening by Dr. Rajendra Prasad. As the 75th anniversary of that revival in 2026 approaches, the celebrations feel transcendent, like a nation chanting one eternal “Om”, reaffirming that India remembers, rebuilds, and rises, always grounded in faith.
