Consider the following paragraph on Indian painting : Women are mainly engaged in the creation of these paintings. These paintings do not depict mythological characters or images of deities, but depict social life. Images of human beings and animals, along with scenes from daily life are created in a loose rhythmic pattern. Painted white on mud walls, they are pretty close to pre- historic cave paintings in execution and usually depict scenes of human figures engaged in activities like hunting, dancing, sowing and harvesting. Stylistically, they can be recognized by the fact that they are painted on an austere mud base using- one color, white, with occasional dots in red and yellow. This colour is obtained from grounding rice into white powder The paragraph given above characterizes which one of the following folk and art form of India ?

The paragraph describes Warli folk painting, a tribal art form from Maharashtra. Key identifiers include the fact that women are the primary creators and the paintings focus on social life rather than mythological or religious themes [t1, t7]. The technique involves painting white figures on mud walls using a paste made from ground rice powder [t1, t5]. Stylistically, Warli art is characterized by its monochromatic white palette, occasional red and yellow dots, and simple geometric shapes that resemble prehistoric cave paintings [t2, t7]. Common motifs include daily activities such as hunting, dancing, sowing, and harvesting [t1, t6]. In contrast, Tanjore and Pattachitra paintings are known for their vibrant colors and religious iconography, while Madhubani paintings, though also created by women, typically feature dense patterns and a wide range of natural colors [t3, t8].
