In Warli - Life is a gift to be celebrated and the ancient Earth is one to be worshipped.
A Warli Art Creation by Artist Shriya. *This is for reference. The workshop image is different.
Overview
Warli is one of the oldest art form with origin back to 2500 BC of Neolithic age when human were cave dwellers. Warli tribal community from Maharashtra used to decorate their mud houses scenes from daily life like dancing, festivals, harvesting, wedding, hunting in which simple motifs of human, animals and natural element are created in a loose rhythmic pattern.
Warli's are said to be hunters, but over time, agriculture became an integral part of their life. All the functions relating to agriculture like reaping, threshing and sowing are accompanied by rituals. The harvesting season begins with worshipping 'Kansari', the goddess of Agriculture. Harvest festival is celebrated by making of toran at the village entrance, offering fresh harvest to the Lord, feeding the cattle and finally sitting together and enjoying the feast in hope of being able to enjoy a rich harvest again, next year.
