The sculptures of Candrāvatī, i.e. of Malwa, in their massiveness belong to the tradition of central India. In their rigour and problematic cast of the form-physiognomy, however, they belong to Rājput sculpture. They form a distinct group, in which the affinity with sculptures to the west matters more than that with central India. Nevertheless, both the components are there, in this group and in the others. Their degree of intermixture results in each case in a peculiar artistic type.
