We find references in the writings of researchers about the growth and culture of Buddhism in Birbhum, though no such Buddhist symbol can be located with the efflux of time. Yet the northern Birbhum in the villages of Mitrapur, Kanakpur, Baragram, Paikar etc may still provide immense resources for research to those interested. The Buddhist idols installed near Sonajhuri and Srijani Silpa Village near Santiniketan are worth seeing.
