Princess of Thailand Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Tuesday visited the 8th-century rock carvings a Unakoti in Tripura’s northern side, 170 Km from here. The princess, a noted Indophile, is a scholar of Sanskrit and was awarded the coveted Padma Bhushan award in 2007.
Speaking to reporters after her visit to Unakoti, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb quoting the Thailand Princess said that she wondered why she didn’t visit this spot before.
“This is a unique place full of grandeur and art. I would like to visit other tourist spots in the state like Chabimura (Gomati district) and Neermahal (Sipahijala district),” Chief Minister Deb quoted her as saying.
