Warli art


Warli art on a wall in the Mumbai University Kalina campus.

Warli art is an ancient tribal folk art from Maharashtra, India, traditionally created by women on mud-walled huts using white rice paste. Dating back as far as 2500–3000 BCE, this style uses basic geometric shapes—circles, triangles, and squares—to depict daily life, nature, and community rituals.
