Belief about Somnath Temple of Gujarat:

There is a belief about this temple that this Jyotirlinga was established by Chandradev himself. According to the Puranas, in ancient times, King Daksha Prajapati had married his 27 daughters to Chandra Dev. Chandra Dev used to love Rohini the most out of all his wives, due to which the rest of his wives started getting jealous of Rohini. When King Daksha came to know about this, he cursed Chandra Dev to end slowly. To get rid of this curse, Brahma ji asked Chandradev to do penance of Shiva in Prabhas Kshetra, after which he worshiped him by making a Shivling, that is Somnath Jyotirlinga.
