The art primarily utilizes triangles, circles, and squares to construct intricate scenes.

Symbolic Human Figures: Humans are depicted using two inverted triangles connected at the tips, representing balance and the union of upper (chest) and lower (pelvis) bodies.

Natural Materials: Traditionally, walls are prepared with red ochre (geru), and paintings are done with a white pigment made from rice paste, water, and gum.

Tools: Artists use a simple bamboo stick, chewed at the end to create a brush-like tip, to apply the paint.

Themes of Nature & Daily Life: Common themes include the Tarpa dance (dancing in a circle), farming, fishing, hunting, festivals, and trees.

Social & Spiritual Significance: Historically, these paintings were done on house walls by married women (Savasini) during festivals or weddings to invite fertility and blessings from gods.

Modern Adaptation: Today, Warli art is popular on handmade paper, cloth, and ceramics, and it often incorporates modern elements like bicycles or city life.
