Dumboor Lake

Dumboor Lake is located in the Amarpur sub division, about 120 km away from the capital city of Agartala. It is shaped like a tapered drum and thus has been named after the damroo (small tapered percussion instrument) of Lord Shiva. This place is no less than a paradise for nature lovers as it is spread across an area of 41 sq km and is surrounded by 48 small islands lined by beautiful hills and lush green landscape. It lies at the confluence of Rivers Raima and Sarma and is home to various species of migratory birds, visible mostly during the winters. Near the lake is a Hydel Project, from where River Gomati originates. It is called Tirthamukh and is popular for the Pous Sankranti Mela that takes place here annually on January 14.

Unakoti

Located around 178 km from Agartala, Unakoti’s ‘Lost Hill of Faces’ is a centuries-old Shaivite pilgrimage spot, which is dissimilar to any other place in the country in sheer grandeur and artistry. It has several majestic sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses possessing earthy rawness of the tribal school of the classical Indian style. The most revered of them is the Unakotishwara Kal Bhairav, a 33-ft-high carving of Lord Shiva’s head. What makes it more attractive is the 10-ft-high intricate headdress that is flanked by warrior-like Goddess Durga on one side and Goddess Ganga sitting atop Capricorn on the other. The agreement among archaeologists is that although the predominant influence of the Shaivism is obvious, the sculptures were also influenced by several other cults like tantric, shakti, and hatha yogis. It is believed that the site dates back to the period between the 12th and 16th centuries and that the sculptures belong to two different periods of art.
