   It is special that this 7th and 9th century beauty craft has global fame. In fact, Unakoti is also considered an ancient pilgrimage place for Hindus. Reason: This ancient structure of the beauty scripture is dedicated to the Gods and Goddesses.

   The amazing sculptures of Unakoti thrill tourists. It is believed that these magnificent statues were designed by Kalu craftsman. It is believed that the craftsman Kalu wanted to go to Mount Kailash with Lord Shiva but this was not possible. 
  Lord Shiva told the craftsman that if one crore statues are structured in one night then he will be able to go to Kailash. 
   So the craftsman kept sculpting the idols throughout the night. In the morning a statue came out in the count. Hence the craftsman Kalu Kailash could not go. In this way, the craftsman Kalu remained on the earth, but this structure made the craftsman Kalu immortal. 
   Perhaps this is why this place is called Unakoti. Unakoti is considered one of the best trekking tours. The special thing is that Unakoti is counted among the mysteries of Northeast India.
