INTRODUCTORY TO EXCAVATIONS |
|
|
| The
latest idea to reconsecrate the temple took shape in 1948. After Junagad’s accession
to India, the late Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel visited Somanatha in the company of H. H. the
Jam Saheb of Nawanagar, and having seen the condition of the temple and cogitating
over its past glory and the sanctity attached to it, expressed his wish that the temple
should be re-built. Thereafter, a Board named as Somanatha Board of Trustees was formed
with H. H. the Jam Saheb as the Chairman. To assist the Board on technical matters, an
Advisory Committee consisting of architects, engineers and the Director-General of
Archaeology in India was constituted with Shri K. M. Munshi as the Chairman. |
