Meet Warli artist Anita Dalavi from Palghar, Maharashtra, who will be showcasing this distinctive art tradition at Warli Painting: Exhibition, Demonstration & Sale at The Kunj, New Delhi.

Warli painting is a traditional art form practised by the Warli community of Maharashtra. Known for its distinctive use of simple circles, triangles and squares, the paintings depict stories of daily life, rituals, celebrations and overall community life. What may appear simple at first glance often holds a world of stories, often drawn from mythology and everyday observations of the close relationship between people and their surroundings.

This is part of the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation’s (MTDC) unique initiative to develop and promote Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)-based tourism in Palghar and Nashik. Come and discover the rich cultural traditions of Maharashtra and learn more about ICH-based tourism.
