In And Around

The Musical Fountain : Though its a new addition, its a charm among the attractions of the castle. Watch the fountain dance in tune with the music!

Unakoti : Though its quite far far away from Agartala (About 178 kms), this Shaiba Pilgrimage (Shrine)is worth visiting for the ones interested in visiting pilgrims. Unakothi means one less than a crore, and it has those 7th-8th century rock cut carvings with primitive waterfalls. This place gets its name from the mythology that when Lord Shiva (God of Destruction) was going to Kashi (another pilgrimage) with one crore Gods and Godesses he made a night halt here. Next morning, no one other than Shiva himself could get up, so the God set affoot alone cursing the others to become stone. And hence the name and hence the one less than crore carvings!
