The Somnath Temple is located in the Prabhas Kshetra (Prabhas Patan) near Veraval in Saurashtra, on the western coast of Gujarat. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of the God Shiva. Somnath means "The Protector of the Moon God". The Somnath Temple is known as "the Shrine Eternal", having been destroyed sixteen times by Muslim invaders. It was rebuilt in November 1947, when Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel visited the area for the integration of Junagadh and mooted a plan for restoration. After Patel's death, the rebuilding continued under K. M. Munshi, another minister of the Government of India. The cancellation depicts the Somnath Temple.
