Warli painting

Warali is a tribe in rural Maharashtra in the Thane district of Western India. I find their art very interesting. They use rice paste and depict village life on their terracota walls. I have attempted to re create the magic of their paintings.







This is a Warali painting depicting a warali temple.

In this painting, the base color is ochre and I have used black acrylic paint. At the centre is the deity and around the main sanctum sanctorum is typical village life.
