Warli uses basic shapes like circle (to depict nature), triangle (to represent bodies) , square (for holy places and functions) and lines .

Warli generally has people holding hands and dancing around in circles to the tunes of the trumpet played a musician at the center . This form of dance is called tapra.

In ancient times, warli was done on floors and walls smeared with cowdung/red oxide and pictures were drawn using ricepaste. Warli can be done on paper, cloth, boxes, mount board , card board wood etc.Pictures can be drawn using white fabric paint.
