Nestled at the foot of the Western Ghat range in Maharashtra India, is the settlement of an ancient tribe known as the Warlis. These tribal people, who survive on forest produce, have carved a domestic and international niche for themselves. What originated as a local ritual of ceremonial beautification is now revered as a folk art of immense value.

Students of Year 5 learnt that Warli paintings are a vivid expression of the daily and social events of the tribe. They are characterized by their depiction of triangular humans and animals with stick like hands and legs. Typically these paintings are done with rice paste on walls that are painted brown or rust.

However, paintings on colourful canvases today are a rage all over the world - a fall out of commercialization.

Year 5 have showcased their life style in the manner of the Warli- Simple, Creative yet stylish.
