Unakoti is ornamented with huge rock-cut images of Gods and Goddesses in the midst of liberal gifts of the nature. All it is holy place, a historical remains or a hill station, every denomination seems befitting. However, Sitakunda or Ashtamikunda a natural reservoir emanating from a romping spring of crystal water becomes the most tantalizing attraction to the people during Maghi Sankranti (in December) Falguni Purnima (in March). The Unakoti means one less than a core. The rocky walls, the Central Siva Head and gigantic Ganesh figures deserve special mention which is about 30 fit high.
