Pilak, Tripura

[2] Sandstone sculptures of the Pilak site, which represent a heterodox culture of Hinduism and Buddhism of 9th to 13th century, are on display at the Tripura Government Museum.

[3] Pilak site is located at Jolaibari, in South Tripura,[4] and is spread over an area of about 10 square kilometres (3.9 sq mi).

[6] The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) carried out excavations at the site in early 1960s when stupas built with bricks were found.

An Ushnisha (a three-dimensional oval form) adorns the top of the head which has a "close-curled hair" style, and a very small stupa is also engraved on the left part of the slab.

[citation needed] A sculpted sandstone statue from the site dated to 8th-9th century is of Chunda which is now revered as "Raja Rajeshwari" in a temple at Muhuripur.

[citation needed] A new find from the Sundari Tilla is of a stupa dated to the 11th century similar to architectural features of the rule of "Palas of Bengal".

[10] Another image found here from the Sagardheba mound is of Surya, the Sun God, riding a chariot driven by seven horses, dated to 7th-9th century, which is deified in a temple in the Rajesvari Ashram in Muhuripur.
