Warli painting is a fine example of folk art.

Answer: Because Warli painting is a traditional art of the Warli tribal community that shows their daily life and beliefs in a simple style passed on from generation to generation.

The Warli people live mainly in the Thane and Palghar districts of Maharashtra. They draw on the mud walls of their houses with white paste made from rice flour, using simple shapes like circles, triangles and lines. The pictures show farming, dancing, hunting, festivals and marriage rituals. It is created by ordinary people, not by trained court artists, which is the main feature of folk art.
