On day 3 of your 12 Jyotirlinga tour package, start your day early with the morning darshan of Somnath Temple.

Somnath Temple stands tall as a symbol of indestructibility of Sanatan Dharma, having been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt through history. Mythologically, as per Skanda Puran, it was here that Moon God (Chandra) was freed from a curse after worshipping Lord Shiva.

While Somnath temple remains open for Darshan between 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, yet it has been our experience that that early morning darshan (before 8 AM) offers the most peaceful spititual experience, especially during weekends. Further, it is worth noting that evening aarti draws large crowds. Many of our first-time visitors have shared that the emotional connect with Lord Shiva is felt strongest during quiet sunrise hours, when the sound of waves blends with temple chants. Hence we suggest that you plan your Darshan during the early morning timings i.e. before 8:00 am. This way you would also be able to attend the morning Aarti that is scheduled at 07:00 am.

After the darshan, head back to the hotel and enjoy a scrumptious breakfast.

If time permits, we strongly suggest that you visit Kalaram Temple in Panchvati area of Nashik. Built around in 1792, it is believed that Sardar Rangarao Odhekar had a dream that the statue of Rama in black colour is there in the river Godavari. Sardar Rangarao Odhekar took the statues from river and built the temple which houses black color idols of Lord Ram, Mata Janki ji and Lakshman ji. Temple is built in a way that the morning sunlight first reaches feet of Lord Ram instilling a divine feeling in the pilgrims. Further, the idol of Lord Hanuman faces Lord Ram which is a sight to behold.

Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga tells a moving story of devotion and grace. Ghusma, a devoted worshipper of Lord Shiva, immersed 101 Shivalingas daily. When her jealous co-sister killed her son, Ghusma remained steadfast in faith. Pleased by her devotion, Shiva revived her son and chose to reside here, making Grishneshwar a sacred Jyotirlinga.

It has been our experience that one should plan visit to Grishneshwar Mahadev Temple early in the morning.This is because once the usual tourist crowd going to Ellora starts arriving at the temple, the temple becomes crowded. Thus, we suggest that you plan your visit to Grishneshwar Mahadev Jyotirlinga early in the morning.
