The Warlis or are an Indian indigenous people, who live mostly in Dahanu and Talasari talukas of the northern Thane district, parts of Nashik and Dhule districts of Maharashtra, Valsad District of Gujarat,[1] and the union territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.[2] They have their own beliefs, life, customs and traditions, which is the part of the Composite Hindu Culture.

In her book The Painted World of the Warlis Yashodhara Dalmia claimed that the Warlis carry on a tradition stretching back to 2500 or 3000 BCE. Their mural paintings are similar to those done between 500 and 10,000 BCE in the Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka, in Madhya Pradesh. […]

The Warli culture portrays one of the best examples of man – environment interaction. Their indigenous practices are proof of how the tribals, though illiterate, had the mechanism to preserve the environment.
