Shobha Somnath Ki (English: Shobha of Somnath) is an Indian historical television drama series on Zee TV based on Acharya Chatursen's 1954 Hindi novel Somnath Mahalay.[1] It tells the story of a fictional young female called Shobha amid the infamous raids in western India by Maḥmūd of Ghazni in the early 11th century.[2]

The show replaced another historical drama Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee TV. Initially, the drama was produced by Contiloe Entertainment. However, due to Veer Shivaji on Colors TV and Mahabharat (2013 TV series) on Star Plus, Contiloe Telefilms handed over the reins to Swastik Pictures. The show was shown every day for some months, and was changed to being broadcast bi-weekly due to decreased popularity. Another show Hitler Didi replaced the time slot when Shobha Somnath Ki was shown (starting 7 November 2011). On 12 November 2011, the broadcast time was changed to weekends only. It aired its last episode on 26 February 2012.[3]
