About the Warli painting:

  • Warli tribals decorate their house walls with paintings depicting their lives and other routine activities of their daily lives.
  • These rudimentary wall paintings use a set of basic geometric shapes: a circle, a triangle, and a square.
  • These shapes are symbolic of different elements of nature. The circle and the triangle come from their observation of nature.
  • The circle represents the sun and the moon, while the triangle depicts mountains and conical trees.
  • In contrast, the square renders to be a human invention, indicating a sacred enclosure or a piece of land.
