The murals of the Warli tribals of the coastal region of southern Gujarat and northern Maharashtra are also now commercially painted, often executed on specially prepared softboard. Typically, these pictures show multitudes of tiny human forms hunting, dancing or cultivating the land. They rely more on line than colour, usually being drawn in white rice paste to prepare for specific festivals or family events.
