Abstract

The archaeological remains found in Barak Valley are relic of an art movement. Barak Valley, culturally distinct from the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam has a number of places yielding remains of architecture and sculpture. Barak valley in her architectural movement kept conformity with the rest of India. But in later years, there developed a local architecture. The visual art of the Barak valley in no way are connected with the artistic development in Brahmaputra valley and the Gupta idioms though missed the Barak Valley are found in the Brahmaputra Valley.
