Unakoti is an ancient archaeological site located in the northeastern Indian state of Tripura. It is renowned for its massive rock reliefs and stone carvings, which date back to the 7th to 9th centuries. The site is primarily known for its unique sculptures of Hindu deities, including a colossal 30-foot high image of Lord Shiva known as "Unakotiswara Kal Bhairava." The name "Unakoti" means "one less than a crore" in Bengali, suggesting that there are nearly a million carvings at the site, although this is more of a myth than a factual count.
