Practised by the Warli community of Maharashtra and parts of Gujarat, Warli art depicts simplified forms, painted using gerua (red-ochre pigment) and white pigment; originally made on the walls by women. This wall art is closely connected with religious beliefs, festivities, marriage ceremonies and other auspicious rituals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the center of the composition is a circle depicting three consecutive layers of figurative forms. The innermost form, rendered as a cluster of ants pecking at the grains, is depicted with fine sweeping lines. These forms are circled by men and women, rendered minimally, joining hands together and dancing. The outermost layer is occupied by the birds spreading their wings, appearing to fly high in joy and freedom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA tree is rendered at the extreme left corner of the painting, with its branches shooting off and leaves flowering. Several birds are perched on the branches. A pair of deer are shown beside the trunk of the tree. The ground level of the tree is depicted with another cluster of ants, shown in motion. The right side of the painting depicts a thatched roof with people dancing and celebrating, playing musical instruments, and a fire is lit, cooking food for the community. Additionally, a radiating sun and a pair of birds also appear in the composition. The painting is predominantly set against a bright red backdrop with red and white figurative forms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dilip Rama Bahotha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67967717179606,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Community_Celebrations_in_Warli_by_Dilip_Bahotha.jpg?v=1794481138","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/community-celebrations-in-warli-by-dilip-bahotha","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
