Description:
The biggest bas - relief structures of India are here in Unokoti, little away from Udaipur. The word Unokoti in Bengali means one less for a 10 million. There are total of 99, 99,999 stone rock cut images of various Gods and Goddesses. The legend goes that once Lord Shiva started on a journey to Kashi along with 10 million deities including Him. Night fall came at this place and he asked everyone to rest and sleep but on one condition. All would wake up before day break and proceed towards Kashi. As the day broke Lord Shiva was the only one to have been awakened. In a feat of anger he cursed the sleeping deities to be turned to stones and proceeded towards Kashi by himself.
These rock cut images are huge in size as well as in number and since have become a great pilgrimage site for the devotees.
