The Himachal State Museum Shimla has interesting collection of sculptures of all types including metal, stone and wooden. The sculptures kept here depict the religious beliefs of the people of that era and also reflects the tradition and social practices of a particular timer period. There are few collections from 5-6 AD but there are plenty of sculptures from later era. The hill regions of Himachal Pradesh were ruled by Gurjaras and Pratiharas and many of these sculptures are from that time.
