🔆Palas Sculptures :

✅ They were Buddhist by faith. ✅ They greatly encouraged centres of learning like Nalanda and Vikramshila, where the stupas and monasteries gave ample scope for the sculptor’s expression of an art which found stimulus in religion.
✅ During this period art reached technical perfection.
✅ The Pala Style is marked by slim and graceful figures, elaborate jewellery and conventional decoration.
✅ The Pala rulers had intimate relations with Java which are evident in Hindu-Javanese sculpture, and painting of Nepal, Kashmir, Burma and Thailand.
