“Rain Dance”
As the legend goes, Warli men perform this dance at the start of the rainy season, appealing to the Rain God, who is angry with people for wasting food grains. Warli painting is especially famous in the tribal folk art of Maharashtra and Odisha. Warli people draw these types of artworks on the mud walls of huts during festivals and create various designs. They used rice flour, water, and gum to draw these designs. Acrylic on Canvas: 12'' X 12''. Price : $200
“Growing the World”
This is an interesting piece of Warli's artwork explaining Indian village life. Men and women here are often portrayed as a composition of Geometric figures such as triangles, sticks (lines), and circles. This style of artwork comes from Maharashtra, India, but has grown and expanded. Often, these paintings can show religious functions and day-to-day life.

"Worship"
Originating from Odisha, Saura wall paintings, known as Italons, pay homage to Idital, the main deity of the Sauras. It is very similar to Warli's art. Rooted in tribal folklore with ritualistic significance, Italons showcase symbolic motifs like people, animals, the sun, the moon, and the tree of life. Originally on adobe hut walls, Ekons use natural dyes from white stone, earth pigments, vermilion, tamarind seed, flower, and leaf extracts.
