Malwa culture

[2] This culture is characterized by the increasing dominance of the agricultural way of life, but also incorporated pastoralist and hunting groups.

The people cultivated wheat, barley, legumes, and later rice, and domesticated cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs.

[3][4] Their pottery was red or orange, and painted with geometric, floral, animal, and human designs in black.

Evidence of religion includes bull idols, worship of trees, snakes, and goddesses, and altars for fire sacrifices.

[5][6] Sites of the Malwa Culture include Daimabad, Inamgaon, Kayatha, Nagda, Vidisha, Eran, Mandsaur, and Navdatoli (near Maheshwar).
