Warli Painting..

first let me discuss a intro on warli paintin n then comes my work on it frnds... A Introduction About Warli n Warli painting: The Warli or Varli are an Indian Scheduled Tribe . These indigenous people live in talukas of the Thane , Nasik and Dhule districts of Maharashtra , the Valsad District of Gujarat [1] , and the Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu union territories [2] . They have their own beliefs, life and customs which have little in common with Hinduism . The Warlis speak an unwritten Varli language mingling Sanskrit , Marathi and Gujarati words. The word Warli is derived from warla, meaning "piece of land" or "field". Their extremely rudimentary wall paintings use a very basic graphic vocabulary: a circle, a triangle and a square. The circle and triangle come from their observation of nature, the circle representing the sun and the moon, the triangle derived from mountains and pointed trees. Only the square seems to obey a different logic
