Warli Art

Warli painting is a form of tribal art created by the indigenous people from the North Sahyadri Range in Maharashtra, India. These paintings are typically done on mud walls using a white paste made from a mixture of rice flour and water, with gum serving as a binding agent. The artists use a bamboo stick, which they chew at one end to make it flexible like a paintbrush. Warli paintings also bear a close resemblance to prehistoric cave paintings.
