Warli art is a traditional tribal painting style from Maharashtra, created by the Warli community and known for its simple yet expressive white-on-mud designs. Made using basic shapes like circles, triangles, and lines, it beautifully portrays everyday village life, nature, and community rituals, often celebrating harmony between humans and the environment. Passed down through generations, Warli art reflects India’s deep-rooted tribal heritage, storytelling tradition, and earthy simplicity
