Pilak's history is deeply rooted in the ancient kingdoms that flourished in Tripura. From the 8th to 12th centuries, the region served as a melting pot of religious and artistic influences. The Pala dynasty's influence is evident in the Buddhist sculptures, while the Hindu deities reflect the local beliefs of the time. The site's strategic location along ancient trade routes contributed to its prosperity and cultural exchange. Over time, Pilak was abandoned and gradually lost to the dense forests, only to be rediscovered by archaeologists in the early 20th century. Excavations have unearthed a wealth of artifacts, shedding light on the religious practices, artistic styles, and daily life of the people who once inhabited this vibrant settlement. The discovered relics are now preserved in the Tripura Government Museum.
