Warli paintings, created by the Warli tribe of Maharashtra, are also known as laganchitra. These were originally created solely on the interior walls of village huts. The colours are almost monochromatic, and the process of painting is tedious. They were created for occasions such as weddings and are as important as the occasion itself. Only Savasani women (women whose husbands are alive) can make the main portion of the wedding painting, consisting of a chaukat (square) and Mother Goddess Palaghat. The figure of Palaghat symbolises creativity and prosperity and is depicted in various forms, surrounded by massive horses. The Warli culture is centred on the concept of Mother Nature, and therefore a majority of their paintings depict nature and wildlife, as well as themes of farming, as this is the mainstay of their life. For commercial purposes, the paintings are created on cloth, and the surface is prepared with a mixture of cow dung and gum or clay and gum. The paintings are then created on it with rice paste, acrylic, or poster paint.
