Overview
Warli is one of the oldest art form with origin back to 2500 BC of Neolithic age when human were cave dwellers. Warli tribe from northern Sahyadri region of Maharashtra lives in harmony with nature and their painting teaches us to find beauty and happiness in our daily lives, in the simple things.
Swirling branches of 'Tree of Life' reaching for the sky, and deep roots into the earth beneath, creating the connection between heaven and earth, is a recurring theme in Warli Folk Art. Warli tribe celebrate festivals with 'Tarpa Dance' in circle or spiral form that swirl around the tree of life. Men and women hold hands as they dance to the melodies of the tarpa, a trumpet like instrument. With simple motifs of Warli art, let's learn how to preserve harmony between human and nature.
