Museum
Buddha:
Sultanganj,
the
place
was
a
centre
for
spreading
Buddhism
and
this
has
been
easily
acknowledged
by
the
archaeological
leftovers
acquired
from
the
area.
The
figurine
of
Buddha
in
which
he
is
in
a
circumstance
-
the
fingers
of
hands
are
on
grip
near
the
upper
body
in
a
unique
position
recognized
as
revolving
the
helm
of
law,
which
is
also
identified
as
Dharamchakrapravartanmudra
is
an
implausible
sculpture
of
art.
This
idol
of
Buddha
is
pertinent
to
the
one
collected
from
the
Sarnath.
In
the
stance
of
the
icon,
the
sculpting
of
deer
is
astonishing
with
the
chakra
flanked
by
them.
Statues
of
Lord
Ganesha:
Collected
from
Mandar,
two
wonderful
statues
of
Lord
Ganesha
catches
the
eyes
and
attention
of
the
visitors.
The
statues
are
a
bit
ruined
with
six
hands
of
Lord
Ganesha
are
noticeable.
In
the
right
arm,
there
is
akshay
neckline
left
and
the
representation
of
axe
is
a
delicacy.
This
is
a
must
see
ancient
statue
of
the
museum.
Idol
of
Mahishasurmardini:
This
museum
has
the
magnificent
idols
of
Mahishasurmardini
on
display.
The
statue
of
the
Mahishasurmardini
showcases
skill
ancient
Indian
artists.
This
is
excavated
from
the
Banka
region
and
it
has
been
prepared
of
black
stone.With
ten
hands
most
of
which
are
now
broken
gives
fine
look
to
this
sculpture.
Idols
of
Maa
Durga:
This
has
been
excavated
from
the

School

is
located.
The
statue
has
been
named
as
Chaturbhuj
Durga
which
is
found
riding
on
the
Lion.
As
a
tourist,
you
can
see
Khadag
and
Dhal
as
Maa
Durga’s
weapons
observable
in
her
both
hands.
Almost
certainly,
it
has
been
assumed
that
the
idol
is
holding
a
snake
in
her
left
hand
and
the
right
hand
shows
blessings
to
devotees.
This
deity

and
10th
century.

As
a
redeemer
of
Earth,
Vishnu

as
partially
Varah
and
partly
human
in
his
Varah
Vishnu
manifestation.
There
is
mention
of
Varah
avataar
in
Vishnu
Purana
.
In

shilpratnam,
the
formation
has
been
defined
as
the
statue
of

One
more

and
is
exposed
with
a
gada,
