Kailashahar

Kailashahar stands on the Manu River in northern Tripura, near the wooded hills of Unakoti. The royal chronicle Rajmala remembers this country as an early seat of Tripura’s rulers, and associates a palace at Rangauti with Maharaja Indra Manikya. Nearby, great rock-cut images at Unakoti depict Shiva and other divine figures, a striking testament to the religious art of the hills before the Manikya court moved farther south.
