Pilak is an archaeological site in the Santirbazar sub-division of South Tripura district of the Indian state of Tripura.[1] Many images and structures, belonging to Buddhist and Hindu sects,[2] have been discovered here since 1927. The antiquities found here are dated to 8th to 12th centuries.[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]
