The Warlis are an indigenous tribe from the Maharashtra-Gujarat border. Warli pain ngs are mostly made by women for special occasions such as weddings or harvests. Made on the mud walls of their huts, the scenes portray rural life, festivals, dances, trees, and animals. The Warli use only white - a mixture of rice paste, water, and gum for their pain ngs. Bamboo sticks chewed at the end are used as paintbrushes. This pain ng captures the myriad ac vi es surrounding the celebration of Vat Poornima observed by married women in the Western Indian states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Goa. Celebrated over three days during a full moon, women fast and e threads around a banyan tree and pray for the well-being of their husbands.
