Tourism Minister Pranajit Singha Roy also expressed happiness that Unakoti, which means one less than a crore (koti in Bengali) is now in that list.
After rock-cut relief sculptures of Tripura바카라s Unakoti featured in the tentative list of UNESCO바카라s tentative list of World Heritage Sites, Chief Minister Manik Saha on Wednesday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his initiative in this regard.
Saha also praised Union Culture Minister G Kishan Reddy for his role that helped the place with 바카라Shaivite rock바카라 sculptures in the northeastern state get its name added to the coveted list. The UNESCO website describes a tentative list as an "inventory of those properties which each State Party intends to consider for nomination".
바카라Happy to share that Rock-cut Sculptures and Reliefs of Unakoti in Tripura made it to the tentative list of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Unakoti, known as an ancient holy place associated with Shiva worship, is famous for its colossal rock cut panels depicting Hindu deities,바카라 Saha said in a Facebook post.
Nestled in the Raghunandan hills, about 180 km from here, Unakoti is home to giant bas-relief sculptures of the 8-9th century carved out of a huge hill. 바카라On behalf of the people of Tripura, I wholeheartedly thank Hon바카라ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji and Hon바카라ble Union Minister for Tourism Shri G Kishan Reddy ji for approaching UNESCO to declare Unakoti as a World Heritage Site,바카라 the chief minister said in the post.
Tourism Minister Pranajit Singha Roy also expressed happiness that Unakoti, which means one less than a crore (koti in Bengali) is now in that list. 바카라Unakoti바카라s nomination for UNESCO바카라s tentative list is a big thing for the people of Tripura. It will be the biggest achievement for the country's monument conservation if Unakoti gets the World Heritage tag,바카라 ASI바카라s Assistant Conservation Assistant, Biltu Debnath, told PTI.
The ASI, Aizwal Circle, has been relentlessly trying to get Unakoti included in UNESCO바카라s tentative list for World Heritage Sites for long, he said adding that it has finally paid off. Three new cultural sites in India - iconic Sun Temple at Modhera, historic Vadnagar town in Gujarat and Unakoti - have been added to the tentative list of UNESCO world heritage sites, the ASI said on Tuesday.
