The religious revival of the sixteenth century under the genius of Chaitanya and his disciples gave great inspiration to the plastic art of the people in addition to that of the wooden figures and paintings on paper and cloth. A plaque from Nalaḍaṅgā in Bengal shows Kṛṣṇa standing in the graceful tribhaṅga pose with crossed legs, playing his flute and attended by a smaller haloed figure with a purse-like object. This group compares favourably with some of the best of the older specimens of Paharpur.
