Some sculptures have been found in a Hindu monastery near Mirzapur. These are remarkable for their peculiar head-dress and long pointed beards. These are said to be of Bhar figures. Their position and attitude indicate that the Bhar tribes were a people of importance, if not the dominant race at one time.

The Bhars were partially civilized and it is known from the numerous works of skill which they have left. The massive forts of the Bhar people showed their warlike inclination. The Bhar people used to utilise their energy and talent in defending themselves against their enemies. But the Bhar tribe also showed various acts to prove that they liked more peaceful pursuits.
