Every single Warli painting is typically a complete panorama
that includes diverse elements of environment such as inhabitants,
flora and fauna, vegetation, mountains, etc.
The basic characteristics of a Warli painting are that its ideas
or subjects are time and again rhythmic, in a way; they are
repetitive and figurative in appearance and do not employ
mythological or spiritual pictography unlike other tribal
paintings.
Warli paintings have a close similitude with pre-historic
art culture mainly on the basis of designs that are
applied in a painting.
Warli paintings initially festooned the walls of rural
community dwellings before making evolution as antique
paintings.
At the time of the origin of warli paintings, they
were used as a medium to spread myths and traditions
of the warli tribe to the common people who are not
aware of the reading and writing skills. Infact, it
appears that through their paintings, the people of
warli tribe wanted spiritual union with the outer world.
