The story behind the art:
Warli art has its origins in the North Sahyadri mountain ranges of Maharashtra. The tribal folk there used the art to adorn the walls of their mud huts to celebrate nature and the elements surrounding their habitat. The art is a celebration of their festivals, rituals and daily village life that is full of energy and vivacity. The famed "tarpa" dance is a central theme and a recurring element in Warli art, as is "Dhartari Devi" or Mother Earth, and the paintings are the way of passing on their traditional stories and lore from one generation to the next. This art form goes back millennia to nearly 2500 years. The tree of life and geometric patterns including circles, triangles and squares are used to depict nature, man, their co-existence, and the reverence man has for nature.
