The Composition

What the mural describes.

Feel the pulse of an ancient rhythm as you are transported to a moonlit night in the Sahyadri hills. Around you, the Warli tribe gathers for a vibrant festival; the hypnotic tarpa dance circles the village clearing, its spiral of dancers a mesmerising focal point. Smoke curls lazily from cooking fires, carrying the scent of supper as women pound grain outside their circular mud huts. Overhead, sacred trees, their branches heavy with nesting birds, stand as silent sentinels at the village boundary, while children's laughter echoes, chasing goats between the dwellings. Every element, from the ploughing oxen to the soaring birds, is rendered in the captivating Warli visual language: stark white rice-paste figures on a rich red-ochre earth ground, each living thing distilled to its geometric essence – triangles for torsos, circles for heads, lines for limbs – a profound distillation of 'known' rather than 'seen'.

This celebratory panorama, alive with movement and narrative, brings a grounded and vibrant energy to your interiors. Perfect for imbuing a hallway with a sense of journey and story, or sparking imagination in a children's room, its communal spirit feels both ancient and eternally present. Each mural is printed precisely to your wall's unique measurements, supplied as numbered panels on premium matt non-woven paste-the-wall paper for a seamless and enduring finish.

Questions

Asked of the studio.

What is the Warli art style depicted in this mural?

Warli painting is a traditional art form from Maharashtra, India, known for its simple geometric figures drawn in white rice paste on a red ochre background. It depicts daily life, festivals, and spiritual beliefs, focusing on harmony with nature.

How do I measure my wall for this mural?

We require the exact width and height of your wall. Please provide measurements in centimetres or inches, ensuring you measure at several points and provide the largest dimensions to account for any irregularities.

Is the wallpaper easy to install?

Yes, our murals are printed on high-quality non-woven paper, which is a 'paste-the-wall' product. This means you apply the adhesive directly to your wall, making installation simpler and cleaner than traditional 'paste-the-paper' methods.

Can I see a sample of the print quality and paper?

Absolutely. We encourage ordering a sample to experience the texture of our matt non-woven paper and the vibrancy of the print quality firsthand before committing to a full mural.
