Unakoti is a unique place, which can not be compared to any other place in the country in terms of absolute grandeur and artistry. It literally means one less than a crore and is one of the biggest bas-relief sculptures in India.

According to Hindu mythology, when Lord Siva was going to Kashi through this place, along with one crore other gods and goddesses, he spent a night here. He had asked his followers to wake up before sunrise and proceed for Kashi . But, unfortunately, no body woke up, except for Lord Siva himself . He cursed them to become stone images. That is why we have one less than a crore stone images there.
