About 100 km away from
Agartala in the Santirbazar Sub-Division is Pilak, famous for its great 8th-9th
century archaeological remains. The site is one of an old civilization ,
representing both Hindu and Buddhist linkages. The main attractions here
are the massive stone sculptures of Avolokiteswari and
Narasimhan and numerous carvings in stone and terracotta plaques.
It has a great
importance for the tourist from outside. Every year
Pilak-Utsav is organized here. The site is still being
excavated-who knows what else the earth will reveal!!
