Hotels Near Pilak Archaeological Site

Boxanagar, Tripura, India
Pilak is a treasure trove of archaeological remains, located in the southern part of Tripura. This site is renowned for its ancient sculptures and terracotta plaques that provide evidence of both Buddhist and Hindu religious practices from the 8th to the 12th centuries. The archaeological complex is a remarkable example of syncretic art, where figures of Hindu deities like Ganesha, Durga, and Surya are found alongside Buddhist stupas and figurines. The most notable discoveries at Pilak include a colossal 10-foot-high image of Surya and a stone image of Avalokiteswara, both of which are now preserved in the Tripura State Museum. The site is spread across several small hillocks, with the most important findings concentrated at Shyam Sundar Tilla and Thakurani Tilla. The excavations have unearthed small brick-built stupas, terracotta plaques with intricate carvings, and various stone and bronze sculptures. The presence of a hilly rivulet, known as the Pilak Stream, adds to the serene and picturesque setting of the area. The findings at Pilak have established a significant historical link with the Buddhist and Hindu civilizations of the larger Bengal region, including the famous archaeological sites of Mainamati and Paharpur in Bangladesh. The site offers a unique opportunity for visitors to walk through history and witness the artistic and religious harmony that once prevailed in the region.
