The art form of Warli originated as early as the 10th century and uses simple geometric motifs to depict community life, celebration and agrarian practices. Warli is a practice of storytelling through visual language and is most often seen in the form of painting, and originally using rice paste of mud walls - but seen here in the form of hand-embroidery work. .Warli has historical roots in Maharashta and Gujarat regions of India.
