The important places in the site are Shyam Sundar Tilla, Deb Bari, Thakurani Tilla, Balir Pathar, Basudev Bari and Sagar Deba. The art form and style that is followed in the making of the images and in the sculptures appear to have a remote resemblance to the sculptural and architectural style of the Palas and Guptas of Bengal.
