That the people of Malwa Culture lived in large rectangular houses is clear from the Inamgaon evidence. They also built pit houses. This Malwa Culture is characterised by a painted ceramic which is rather thick in section and has a coarse, gritty fabric. It is wheel-turned and is treated with a thick orange to pink slip, over which the painted ornament is executed in dark brown or black. Although the Malwa ware, so characteristic of the Central Indian sites, is present in the Deccan, we find that its fabric in the Deccan is somewhat different.
