Pilak, a treasure house of Hindu and Buddhist Sculpture

Pilak lies at a distance of approximately 100 km from the capital city of Agartala. Pilak is the treasure house of Hindu and Buddhist Sculpture.  Beautiful images scattered over an area of about 10 sq. km. have been found at Pilak.

One can find some of the most exquisite Hindu and Buddhist sculptures at Pilak in Tripura. The relics unearthed at Pilak include terracotta plaques, sealing with Stupa, huge stone images of Avolokiteshwara and Narasimha, etc. The plaques and the sealing signify survival of heterodox creeds and sects representing both Hinduism as well as Buddhism.
