Unakoti
Unakoti, located in North Tripura, is a fascinating archaeological and spiritual site known for its ancient rock carvings and sculptures. The name "Unakoti" translates to "one less than a crore," and the site is believed to house 99,99,999 rock-cut figures and stone images. These carvings, primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva, date back to the 7th to 9th centuries and are a testament to the region's rich Shaivite heritage.
The most iconic feature of Unakoti is the massive 30-foot-tall Shiva head, known as Unakotiswara Kal Bhairava, adorned with an intricately carved 10-foot-high headdress. Surrounding this central figure are other remarkable sculptures, including depictions of Goddess Durga, Lord Ganesha, and Nandi bulls.
According to local legend, Lord Shiva cursed a group of gods and goddesses to turn into stone for failing to wake up on time, which is said to explain the abundance of carvings at the site.
