The story of somnath jyotirlinga
Long ago, there was a divine king named Prajapati Daksha, who was the son of Brahma himself. He married his 27 daughters, who were beautiful stars, to the bright and shining Moon.The grandeur of the daughters and the glory of the
moon complemented each other. However, Chandra loved one of his wives, Rohini, the most, and neglected the rest of his wives.This made them very sad. All the 26 girls together went to their father King Daksha and told him how Chandra Deva was favouring only Rohini and ignoring them.
