Warli painting comes from the Warli tribe of Maharashtra, with roots dating back to 2,500 BCE. Traditionally painted on hut walls using rice paste, Warli art depicts daily life, farming, dance, and rituals through simple geometric forms—circle, triangle, and square. The central motif often includes Lagnachauk, the marriage deity. The art remained untouched by modern influence until the 1970s, when artists like Jivya Soma Mashe introduced it to the world.
