UNAKOTI: PLACE WITH  99,99999 SCULPTURES

Unakoti hills is a heavenly abode with lakhs of sculptures

Northeastern state Tripura is home to the Lord Shiva pilgrimage location known as Unakoti Hills

Several myths are connected to this bizarre location, which features enormous rock reliefs honouring the Hindu god

One of them is that of Kallu Kumar, a local sculptor and devotee of Parvati, the bride of Shiva

Shiva wasn't too pleased on the idea of him going with the gods to their residence on Kailash Parvat

Parvati then suggested that Kallu Kumar make one crore images of Shiva over the course of a single night in order to placate him

Even after working nonstop all night, the sculptor was one short of the specified number and lost his chance

Unakoti, thus, can be literally translated to one less than a crore.
