==History==
Kailashahar was the ancient capital of the [[Twipra Kingdom|Tripuri kingdom]]. Its history is associated with [[Unakoti]], noted for its 7th - 9th century AD stone and rock cut images. A Shiva disciple who started the Tripurabda (Tripuri Calendar), prayed for [[Lord Shiva]] in Chhambulnagar village on the banks of the [[Ireng River|Mau river]]. It is speculated that Chhambulnagar, which is mentioned in [[Rajmala]], was situated near Unakoti Hill.{{By whom|date=March 2019}} The Prince prayed for Mahadeva in Unakoti. Kailashahar may be the legendary Chhambulnagar. Some believers thought that Har (Shiva) resides in Kailash. Therefore, the place was known as Kailash Har which was later on transformed to Kailashahar. Tripura king Adi-Dharmapha ruled there in the 7th century. He performed a ''yagna'' with pomp and gaiety..<ref>[http://pib.nic.in/feature/feyr2001/fjul2001/f180720012.html UNAKOTI SCULPTURES : A BEWITCHING TOURISTS’ ATTRACTION]</ref>
