the simple life style of the Warli tribes in Maharashtra. Major
economic preoccupation of the tribal people, i.e. harvesting of rice,
celebration, wedding, rituals and births are the main motifs of this
genre of painting. The Warli art has a special characteristic of
representing the humble life of the Warli tribe.
The basic tenet of Warli paintings is
the use of geometric designs such as triangles, circles, squares,
dots and crooked lines are used to depict human figures, animal
figures, houses, crops etc. Warli art is known for its monochromatic
depictions reflecting the folk life of socio-religious customs,
imaginations and beliefs. Predominately white color is used on a red
earthen background.
