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.
