WHY CHOOSE US
Rajni has mastered the traditional Warli vocabulary—stick figures, triangles, circles, spirals, and rhythmic repetition—ensuring her work remains authentic to the art form’s roots in Maharashtra’s tribal culture.
Every Warli mural or painting tells a story: village life, farming, festivals, Tarpa dance, marriage rituals, harvest scenes, forests, animals, and the Tree of Life. Each artwork is thoughtfully composed to reflect movement, unity, and joy.
Warli art relies on balance and flow. Rajni’s command over circular compositions, spiral dances, and symmetrical storytelling creates visually soothing yet dynamic artworks.
Her Warli commissions are tailored for homes, offices, resorts, cafés, schools, cultural centers, and public spaces—adapted to wall size, lighting, and architectural context.
Working traditionally with white on terracotta, mud, or earthy-toned backgrounds, Rajni preserves the organic feel of Warli while using durable, non-toxic modern materials.
She seamlessly blends tribal heritage with contemporary themes—corporate journeys, sustainability stories, urban life, and social narratives—without losing cultural purity.

The studio created a stunning custom Warli artwork depicting a village harvest scene for our dining room — the geometric detailing and earthy tones were extraordinary. It's now a cherished piece our family loves.
We commissioned a custom Warli piece featuring a tree-of-life design as a housewarming gift — the storytelling and detailing were immaculate. The team was professional from the first briefing call to final delivery.
The studio designed a large-scale custom Warli mural perfectly matched to our office's earthy colour palette — the calm precision they brought to every figure made the whole process effortless. It's the centrepiece our clients always comment on.
People assume the simplest-looking art is the fastest to make, and with Warli that's often backwards. A commission built from dozens of tiny repeated figures, each one has to sit at the right distance from the next, or the whole composition falls apart. This page covers what makes Warli distinct, the scenes I paint on commission, exactly how the process runs, sizing and pricing, and how to commission a piece across Delhi NCR.
Warli is a tribal folk art from the Warli community of Maharashtra, traditionally painted in white on a mud wall coloured with red or brown ochre. Figures are built entirely from basic geometric shapes, triangles and circles, with almost no decorative fill, depicting scenes of daily life, harvest, and communal dance in circular formations. It's one of the few Indian folk traditions built on minimalism rather than density.
That minimalism is deceptive. With no fine pattern-work to hide behind, every mark has to earn its place. Get the spacing between figures wrong in a dance scene and the rhythm collapses; the whole composition depends on repetition done with real precision, not just filled in loosely.
Warli suits modern, minimal interiors in a way that bolder, denser folk styles sometimes don't. A monochrome piece with clean geometric figures reads as considered and understated, which works well against concrete, wood, or a plain painted wall without competing for attention.
It's also a strong choice if you want a piece that carries genuine cultural weight without visual noise. The story, harvest, dance, daily life, is still there, told with a restraint that a lot of decor-focused buyers actually prefer once they see it in person.
Warli's visual vocabulary is limited by design, which makes the composition itself the real variable between pieces.
The tradition's most recognisable subject, figures joined hand in hand around a central point, often around a tree or musician. This is the piece most people picture when they think of Warli, and it works well as a focal statement piece.
Figures working, farming, or gathered around daily activities, arranged into a wider narrative composition. These suit a client who wants storytelling depth rather than a single repeated motif.
A central tree surrounded by figures and animals, traditionally tied to marriage rituals in Warli culture, makes a meaningful choice for a wedding or anniversary commission carrying real symbolic weight.
Warli was traditionally painted across entire village walls, so scaling it up for a large feature wall or office reception is true to the form rather than a stretch. At scale, the repetition and rhythm of the figures become the whole visual event.
Here's exactly how a commission runs, start to finish:
Warli pieces are painted on canvas or board, and scale from a small accent piece to a full wall mural. Here's how the common sizes tend to be used:
| Piece size | Where it works | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Small (10-16 in) | Desk, gallery wall, gifting | A single small scene or motif |
| Medium (20-30 in) | A hallway or minimal living space | The most-commissioned range |
| Large (36-48 in) | A feature wall | Repetition and rhythm carry the composition |
| Mural (on-site) | Offices, cafes, large feature walls | True to Warli's original wall-painting tradition |
Canvas pieces are gallery-wrapped or floater-framed depending on preference; on-site murals are painted directly onto the wall with no framing needed. Ready-to-hang fixings are included on all canvas commissions.
This is where Warli genuinely differs from denser folk forms. Cost and timeline here are driven less by fine detail and more by figure count and composition complexity, a scene with three or four figures moves quickly, while a dense dance formation or a large mural with dozens of repeated figures takes real time to plot and space consistently.
What moves the price:
Once your brief is understood, you get a firm figure before any work begins.
A Warli commission makes a genuinely versatile gift, understated enough to suit almost any interior, while still carrying real cultural specificity. A tree-of-life piece makes a particularly meaningful wedding or anniversary gift given its traditional ritual associations.
As decor, its restraint is the strength. If you want something bolder instead, custom Gond art offers a visually opposite alternative built from dense pattern rather than open, minimal composition.
Warli on canvas is straightforward to maintain:
Commissions here are painted by a full-time team of practising artists working under the direct mentorship of folk-art fusion artist Rajni Dutta, from the studio in C.R. Park, South Delhi. Warli is taught and commissioned alongside Madhubani, Gond, Kalamkari, and mandala, treated as its own tradition with its own compositional demands, not simplified into a generic minimal motif.
Credibility matters when you're commissioning something for a wall you'll live with, so worth knowing: the studio has been covered by Hindustan Times, Business Standard, ThePrint, and ANI, and has delivered creative work for organisations including Airbnb, Qualcomm, upGrad, and Shoppers Stop. The story behind the studio and its founder fills in the rest.
If you'd rather learn the technique yourself than commission a piece, our Warli art classes cover the same figure-building method used in commissioned work, for anyone who'd like to try composing one of these scenes by hand.
Not necessarily. Cost and timeline are driven by figure count and composition complexity rather than fine detail. A dense dance scene with many repeated figures, spaced consistently, can take as long as a more decorative piece in another style.
Circular dance formations, harvest and daily life narratives, tree-of-life and ritual motifs, and large-scale murals are all painted on commission, matched to your space and brief.
It depends on canvas or wall size, figure count, composition complexity, and framing, so there's no single fixed price. A firm quote follows once your brief is reviewed.
A simple scene with a few figures can be ready within a week or two. A dense dance formation or a large mural with many repeated figures takes longer, since consistent spacing across the composition can't be rushed.
Yes, for large feature walls in homes, offices, or cafes. This is actually true to the original tradition, since Warli was historically painted directly onto village walls rather than on canvas.
