These floral and geometric border patterns have been reproduced by Nandalal in this sketch as part of his study of indigenous traditions and practices in decorative art. He often made records of the ornamental carvings on historical buildings as Nandalal had a deep appreciation for the rich sculptural and architectural productions of ancient and medieval India and frequently incorporated elements from them into his works.
