Overview

The 'one less than a crore' — gigantic 7th–9th century Shiva faces and deities carved into a waterfall hillside, the Northeast's Angkor of rock.

Why visit: The 30-ft Unakotiswara face is one of India's greatest rock reliefs.

History: Legend says a crore gods camped here overnight; all but one overslept and were turned to stone by Shiva's curse.
