Placed at the outskirts of Bombay, in Western India, is the settlement of an ancient tribe known as the Warlis. Despite being in such close proximity of the largest metropolis in India, Warli tribesmen turn away from all influences of modern urbanization. These tribal people, who survive on forest produce and worship nature, have carved an international niche for themselves by virtue of their artistry. The name of the race has given the name to the art form and today we know it as the Warli paintings.

Artist and scholars believe its roots may be traced to as early as Tenth century A.D. before catching the attention of urban world in 1970s. As painting figures and diagrams was the only way for these non-lettered people to transmit their hereditary knowledge, traditions and good wishes.
