About the Artwork +

This Warli Art by Dilip Bahotha depicts a Warli Village. In this painting, a huge landscape of nighttime in a traditional Warli Village comes to life. With a lot of huts surrounded by trees, the tribal people are illustrated doing their daily chores. Trees provide the Warli people with many practical benefits, such as shade, shelter, and food emphasizing the importance of the ecosystem and the interdependence of all living things. These Warli homes are not only shelters for humans because they love to live with nature, but they also keep their animals in the same house. It is a symbol of protective living that conforms to the invisible law of nature. There is a joyous occasion as in the center of the village, the tribal folks are tarpa dancing. Hand in hand, these silhouettes move in a circle along the narrow lanes of a village, hopping forward and backward dancing to the high-pitched tunes of a tarpa. They rely on the tarpakar — who stands at the center of a clearing with the performers around him. The circle formation of the dancers is also said to resemble the circle of life. Every night after a day's work, they gather at the village open space and dance through the night. For small clusters of agrarian communities and forest dwellers, it is a wordless expression of happiness and fulfillment.

Warli


  "THE GRAPHIC VILLAGEPainted tales of the Warli tribe As the bamboo brush dipped in white rice paste paint touches the wall, the form of a square takes shape. Palghat- The Mother Goddess symbolising fertility- rests within the square devchauk adorned as a temple in the middle of the painted village. Around the Chauk the people of the village start gathering to carry out their daily activities- women taking care of children, cleaning their homes, and churning butter, the men toil away in the fields, hunt, and spread nets to catch fish, and the children and animals play in the fields. Each figure of triangles and circles dance to the rhythm of everyday life, joining hands together to come into a spiral dance celebrating life! The Warli painting is a ritualistic art of the Warli tribe of northern Maharashtra, India. Made for special occassions of weddings and harvest, the artform is said to date nearly 2500 years back. The traditional wall paintings depict no mythological themes, but scenes of everyday life. The circle and triangle come from the tribe’s observation of nature, the circle representing the sun and the moon, the triangle derived from mountains and pointed trees. Only the square seems to obey a different logic and seems to be a human invention, indicating a sacred enclosure or a piece of land. Today, while the artform has become widely popular on cloth and paper, they look best on the walls or in the form of huge murals that bring out the vast and magical world of the Warlis. For the Warlis, tradition is still adhered to but at the same time new ideas have been allowed to seep in which helps them depict their understanding of the ever-changing world around them."
