| Maharashtra is known for its Warli folk paintings. This folk tradition was discovered as late as the seventh decade of the last century. This art form is simple in comparison to the vibrant paintings from Madhubani. The only colour used in creating Warli paintings is white. This colour is obtained from grounding rice into white powder. These paintings are mainly created on mud walls of tribal houses. Women are mainly engaged in the creation of these paintings. These paintings do not depict mythological characters or images of deities, but depict social life. Images of human beings and animals, along with scenes from daily life are created in a loose rhythmic pattern. These themes are highly repetitive and symbolic. These painting also serve social and religious aspirations of the local people. |
