Prabhas Patan, known popularly as Somnath Patan, is situated in Gujarat (Saurashtra), 7 km. from Veraval. This is a place of pilgrimage, or Tirtha, of the most popular Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva, i.e., Somanath.

According to tradition, here Krishna is supposed to have left planet earth at the end of Krishna avatar (Avatars), enacting the drama of being killed by a hunter who mistook Krishna for a deer and shot him in his foot.. From this place, he left earth with his body and went to his eternal abode vaikuntha paramdhama which is known as highest abode for the liberated souls, existing beyond the material universe.(Wikipedia)
