Mumbai Trip Overview
The Warlis are an indigenous tribe or Adivasis, living in mountainous as well as coastal areas of Maharashtra-Gujarat border and surrounding areas. The Warli were traditionally semi-nomadic. They lived together in small-scale groups with a headman leading them. However, recent demographic changes have transformed the Warli today into mainly agriculturists. They cultivate many crops like rice and wheat. Warli Painting is a tradition stretching back to 2500 or 3000 BCE. Their extremely rudimentary wall paintings use a very basic graphic vocabulary: a circle, a triangle and a square.
