The Prime Minister also paid tribute to the statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel during a roadshow held in Gir Somnath before entering the temple premises.

A large number of people gathered along the nearly 1.5-km stretch from the helipad to Veer Hamirji Circle to welcome Modi, waving flags and raising slogans as his convoy passed through the area amid tight security arrangements.Artists from different parts of the country, including West Bengal, performed traditional dances at various points during the roadshow.

At the temple, Modi performed religious rituals including ‘Abhishek’, ‘Dhwaj Pooja’ and ‘Maha Pooja’. Flower petals were also showered on the shrine from helicopters during the ceremonies.The Somnath Temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva, is regarded as a symbol of India’s enduring faith and civilisational heritage.
