Unakoti is one of the sacred places for Hindus. It is believed that if one pray to Gods with a pure heart, all his wishes will come true.
As per Hindu mythology, once upon a time lord shiva was going to Kashi(Varanasi, India ) with a group of 10 million gods and goddesses. On their way, they decided to take a break at this place for night stay. But lord shiva had ordered all other gods to wake up before sunrise as he wanted to start his journey early morning.
Next day when shiva woke up early morning, he found all other gods didn’t follow his order and were sleeping till that time. Seeing that, shiva got angry and cursed all gods and goddesses to become stone images and stay at Unakoti location forever.
Shiva left the place alone, and from that time it is believed that 1 less than 10 million gods stay at Unakoti location.
PS: Not many people visit this place and only one guest house is available for tourist near this location. One can take permission from 2 Babas to camp or they will arrange your accommodation. One of them smokes a lot and another one don’t . Choose your Baba as per your requirement 😀

I am Deepak Chauhan, traveler, photographer, rider and a TEDX speaker from Haridwar, India. I started traveling on a motorcycle by coincidence when my friend(Bhishma) asked me for a short Trip from Mumbai to Goa On a Motorcycle and he didn't know how to ride one. We started on his motorcycle for a weekend trip and ended up traveling 46000+km across India in 500+days on a Royal Enfield. During this trip, I quit my job but kept traveling on people generosity. After my India tour, I started a crowdfunding campaign for Europe Trip and Traveled 16,000 Km across 18 European countries on a 25-year-old motorcycle using the Crowdfunded money. I saved some money (using Couch surfing )during my Europe trip.
I got sponsored by Castrol Biking for traveling across south east asia. I have traveled across south east Asia for 6 months and now started my own business of making world class OMO Electric cycles and Manual cycles with my friend Bhishma
