Warli painting
Warli art - a tradition with the tribals (Warli tribe of east India) to
decorate the mud walls. They are typically painted in the form of murals
on the inside walls of Warli huts and are repeatedly erased and
replaced by new paintings at the time of rituals.
It is done on an austere mud base using one color, white with occasional
dots in red and yellow. Warli painting is simple and linear with the
maximum use of triangular shape. The central motif in these ritual
paintings is surrounded by scenes portraying trees, hunting, fishing and
farming, festivals and dancers, musicians, men, women & children in
their every day activities. Usually the Warli paintings are done during
the marriage ceremony and they call them as “Lagnacha chauk” meaning
marriage paintings.
