Warli Tribe

The Warli tribe is an indigenous community from Maharashtra, India, known for their distinctive art form that uses simple geometric shapes—such as circles, triangles, and squares—to depict daily life, nature, and social events. Their traditional artwork, often painted on walls, reflects their beliefs, rituals, and community activities, serving as a visual storytelling method. The tribe’s culture emphasizes harmony with nature, agriculture, and social bonds. Despite modernization, Warli art remains an important cultural expression and has gained international recognition for its unique, minimalist aesthetic.
