Bhirbhanjan Lighthouse

Bhirbhanjan Lighthouse is situated 3 km East of Veraval Lighthouse. The Lighthouse bears its name from the near by temple known as Bhirbhanjan Mahadev temple enroute to Somnath temple at Prabhas Patan village. This light with red filter was installed in 1936. It was a fixed light. An ordinary oil wick lamp inside 6th order optic was the first light. There was no change till 1964 when the wick lamp was replaced by DA gas burner and a flasher inside 200 mm optical equipment of AGA make. A manually operated valve was introduced to regulate the pressure and operation. The light was further improved in 1967. The old optic was replaced by a 300 mm optic. Under the scheme of modernization the electronic flasher (JLWL) operating halogen lamp was introduced in place of DA gas equipment, on 24th March 1993
