Unakoti
Unakoti. There are many in India that no one has been able to solve till date. One such place is about 145 km from Agartala, the capital of Tripura, known as Unakoti. It is said that there are a total of 99 lakh 99 thousand 999 stone idols, so far no one has been able to solve its mysteries. For example, who made these statues, when and why did they make them and most importantly, why less than one crore statues? However, there are many stories behind it.
It is because of these mysterious statues that the place gets its name Unakoti, which means less than one crore. This place is considered to be the biggest secret of India. No information about this place was available for many years. However, very few people still know about this place.
Unakoti is called a mysterious place because it is a mountainous region surrounded by distant Gaense forests. Now, how did millions of statues come to be in the middle of the forest, as these works take many years and before that no one lived around this area. This has long been the subject of debate and discovery.
It is believed that at one time millions of gods and goddesses, including Lord Shiva, were going somewhere. As night fell, the gods and goddesses asked
Sculptor and the story of Lord Shiva
Another story is popular regarding the construction of these idols. It is said that there was a sculptor named Kalu, who wanted to go to Mount Kailash with Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati, but it was not possible. However, due to the stubbornness of the sculptor, Lord Shiva told him that if he made one crore idols of gods and goddesses in one night, he would take the sculptor with him to Kailash.
Hearing this, the sculptor became engrossed in his work and quickly started making the idols one by one. He made idols all night, but when he counted in the morning, he found that one idol was short. This is why Lord Shiva did not take that sculptor with him. This is why this place is called Unakoti.
