The 99,99,999 carvings of Lord Shiva at Unakoti Hills
Unakoti Hills is a pilgrimage site for Lord Shiva located in the state of Tripura. There are several legends associated with this surreal place, which has massive rock reliefs commemorating the Hindu god.
One among them is that of a local sculptor named Kallu Kumar, who was a devotee of Shiva’s wife Parvati. He wanted to accompany the deities to their abode on Kailash Parvat, but Shiva wasn’t too keen on the proposition.
It was then that Parvati suggested that Kallu Kumar carve out one crore (10 million) images of Shiva overnight to appease him.
Even though he laboured tirelessly all night, the sculptor fell one short of the said number and hence missed his opportunity. Unakoti, thus, can be literally translated to one less than a crore.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
