In Bengali, ‘Unakoti’ means a unit less than one crore. And, the popular myth is that Lord Shiva, leading this pack of 9,999,999 gods and goddesses, camped in this serene mountainous location in UNAKOTI Tripura District, for a night, on his way to Varanasi. But, early next morning, when he was ready to resume the journey, the rest of the team members were still sleeping. It is said, the furious god turned them into stones. Today ‘Unakoti’ is one of the largest rock-cut sculptures in India, dating back to between the eighth and ninth centuries.
