The Somnath Trust runs three guest houses of its own — Sagar Darshan Atithi Gruh, Lilavati Atithi Bhavan and Maheshwari Atithi Bhavan — and enforces one booking channel: somnath.org, with offices in Ahmedabad and at Somnath. The trust’s site carries an explicit warning against agents and WhatsApp/UPI payment demands — the same scam pattern we flag at Ayodhya. Search-indexed booking pages show Sagar Darshan suites around ₹4,400–6,000; that’s snippet-level, and the portal is the authority. Checked 02 October 2026.
