While I appreciate the cultural celebration, I hope the focus on development and investment mentioned at the end gets equal importance. Our sacred sites are vital, but so are jobs and infrastructure for the people of Saurashtra.

Sardar Patel's role in rebuilding Somnath temple post-independence was indeed a monumental act to restore our national pride. It's good to see this being remembered and honoured. A true tribute to the Iron Man of India.

Feeling proud as a Gujarati! Somnath is not just a temple, it's a symbol of our resilience and faith. The Parv sounds like a grand event. Wish I could be there to witness the Ravadi Yatra and the spiritual atmosphere. Har Har Mahadev!

The scale of this is impressive. Lakhs of devotees, 108 horses, a drone show... it's a massive logistical undertaking. Kudos to the state government if they manage it well. The true test will be the experience of the common devotee on the ground.
