Brahmans assisted in the defense of Somnath alongside Hindu soldiers & devotees.
The faith of Hindus in their Gods was absolute, despite Ghazni's 30,000 strong army.
“The garrison, assisted by Brahmans & devotees defended (Somnath) with the courage and desperation of fanatics”
When the Somnath temple was being looted by the armies from Ghazni, the priests sat singing Bhajans outside the temple, asking for god’s blessings.
