On of my primary reasons for visiting Tripura, other than “the just to check it out” factor, was to visit the impressive rock 8th century cliff side bas-relief carvings at Unakoti. Surrounded in a mane of green forests these carvings of Shiva in the grey stone cliff show a very interesting “tribal style” that is unlike any other representations I have seen throughout the subcontinent. The area is quite beautiful, with a river cascading down the grey cliffs in between the carved stone.
