Damn, not sure how I missed your comment. Yeah, Somnath isn’t any different from your average pilgrim destination except for the fact that the main thoroughfare looks all new and shiny thanks to the Gujarat government intiatives in providing it with perhaps the widest country roads in the country. I thought the beach was splendid where, if you walk away from the parts closer to the temple, you have the whole place to yourself with only a few thousand migratory birds for company.
The place is generally desolate and eager to please like you suggest but I did get some of the best pictures I took in Gujarat here.

Great post 🙂
What were your impressions of the place? Looks a little desperate and desolate in the pictures.
