characteristic of Neolithic phase of rock paintings that have transpired in the Warli art.

culture. The innocence of Warli tribals is evident from the absence of proportions of human 
and non human objects in the art. They are fun loving and enjoy merry making. Every 
occasion is celebration with drink, music and dance. The musical instruments are made of 
dried fruits, pumpkins, gourds [called Tarpa].
