Warli folk painting originates from the Warli tribe in India and uses simple geometric patterns like circles, triangles, and squares to depict people, animals, houses, and crops. Traditionally painted on the walls of Warli homes, these paintings now appear on paper and other materials as well, expressing the tribe's culture, traditions, and beliefs through depictions of festivals, harvests, stories, and celebrations often showing groups of people and social life. Common symbols in Warli art include circles representing the sun and moon, triangles representing mountains and trees, and squares indicating sacred land.
