Unokoti means one short of a crore, an exaggeration of the colossal representation of Siva in varied forms along with other Gods or Goddesses those carved in bas-relief on the face of the hillock. These bas-relief sculptures of Siva depicting only faces may be considered as the largest in size in India
The highly mutilated loose sculptures, some temple architectural members and traces of brick temple on the top of the hillock indicate an existence of a temple perhaps prior to these rock carvings datable to 9th-10th century A.D on the basis of Chaturmukha and Ekmukha Lingas, Umamaheswara,Mahishasuramurdini, Ganesha etc. This Unokoti was the great centre for religious activities that flourished at least for more than three centuries.
