Prime Minister Narendra Modi is marking the 1,000th anniversary of the first attack on the Somnath Temple in 1026, calling it a symbol of India's indomitable spirit and civilization. The temple, located in Gujarat, has been rebuilt multiple times after repeated invasions. The year 2026 also marks 75 years since its restoration and reopening in 1951, attended by then President Rajendra Prasad. The 'Somnath Swabhiman Parv' will feature year-long spiritual and social events.
