\nModi also witnessed \u2018Kumbhabhishek\u2019, wherein holy water gathered from prominent pilgrimage sites across the country was sprinkled atop the temple\u2019s \u2018shikhar\u2019 (towering spire) using a crane.
\nThe Somnath Amrut Mahotsav is being organised to commemorate 75 years since the inauguration of the restored temple by India\u2019s first President, Dr Rajendra Prasad, in 1951.
\nThe prime minister, accompanied by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and his deputy Harsh Sanghavi, watched an airshow performed by the Indian Air Force\u2019s Suryakiran aerobatic team (SKAT) over the temple.
\nUsing indigenous smoke pods, the jets of the Suryakiran team released saffron, white and green smoke to create the image of the tricolour in the sky.
\nThe prime minister is scheduled to address a public gathering at Sadbhavana Ground later in the day.Somnath Amrut Mahotsav: PM Modi Performs \u2018Maha Pooja\u2019 At Somnath Temple, Witnesses Air Show.<\/p>\n
