Book Archana at SomnathHistory
Somnath ko dwadash (baraah) Jyotirlingon mein sabse pehla Jyotirlinga maana jaata hai. Kaha jaata hai ki is mandir ka nirmaan swayam Chandra Dev (Som) ne kiya tha — isiliye ise 'Somnath' kaha gaya. Puranon ke anusaar Chandra ko Daksha Prajapati ka shraap laga tha, jisse mukti paane ke liye unhone yahan Shiv ki aaradhna ki. Somnath mandir ka itihaas aakraman aur punarnirmaan ki gaatha hai — ise kai baar todha gaya aur bhakton ne baar-baar iska jeernodhaar kiya. Aaj ka bhavya mandir 1951 mein Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel ke prayason se banaaya gaya. Arabian Sea ke kinare khada yeh mandir Bharat ki aastha aur atal shraddha ka prateek hai. Archana ke through aap ghar baithe Somnath Jyotirlinga par archana karwa sakte hain. Mandir ka pandit aapka naam, gotra aur nakshatra lekar Somnath Mahadev ke samne aapka sankalp aur manokamna bolta hai, aur aapke naam se phool aur prasad arpit karta hai. Photo proof aapko email par milta hai.

What an Archana is
A pandit at Somnath takes your name, gotra and nakshatra. He speaks your sankalp and your manokamna before Shiva, and offers flowers and prasad in your name. A devotee who cannot travel has always been represented at a temple this way, and your sankalp reaches Shiva there.
An Archana is not a separate pooja or hawan held for you at the temple.
अर्चना क्या है
Somnath का पंडित आपका नाम, गोत्र और नक्षत्र लेता है। वह Shiva के सामने आपका संकल्प और मनोकामना कहता है, और आपके नाम से फूल और प्रसाद अर्पित करता है। जो भक्त स्वयं नहीं जा सकता, उसका संकल्प सदियों से इसी तरह देवता तक पहुँचता आया है।
अर्चना का अर्थ मंदिर में आपके लिए अलग से कराई गई पूजा या हवन नहीं है।
