Tulsishyam is located on the border of Amreli district and gir somnath district, now in for somnath in the Gir forest national park in Gujarat. It is 45 km from Dhari (Dist-Amreli) and 35 km from Una (Dist-Gir Somnath). It is connected to both cities. There is an ancient temple of Lord Vishnu-Lord Shyam. Legend says that Lord Krishna eliminated the demon called Tul and so the place is associated with his name along with that of Krishna as Shyam and is thus called Tulsishyam. The idol of Lord Tulsishyam is said to be 3000 years old. It is made up of black stone.
There is a hot sulphur spring near the temple that is believed to have curative powers.
There is a stretch of road near the place where Gravity Hill phenomenon is observed.[1]
