Surya Mandir & Kamnath Mahadev Temple
સૂર્ય મંદિર
An ancient Surya temple ruin on a hill about 3 kilometers northeast of the Somnath temple, forming a small temple cluster with the Kamnath Shiva temple and a statue of Adi Shankaracharya.
The Surya Mandir sits on a hill about 3 kilometers northeast of Somnath. It is believed to date from around the 14th century and is one of the older temples surviving in Prabhas Patan. Its outer walls retain relief carvings of lions and elephants. Beside it are the Kamnath Mahadev Shiva Temple and a statue of Adi Shankaracharya. Few visitors come here, making it a good choice for lovers of old architecture. Admission is free; an auto-rickshaw from the temple takes about 10 minutes. It can be combined with Bhalka Tirth and Veraval Port for a half-day itinerary.
