{"product_id":"tarpa-nrutya-hand-painted-warli-wooden-wall-plate","title":"Tarpa Nrutya – Hand-Painted Warli Wooden Wall Plate","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis hand-painted wooden wall plate captures the Tarpa Nrutya — Warli's best-known dance composition — in white on a deep red-ochre ground. Rings of dancers spiral outward from a single figure at the centre playing the tarpa, a wind instrument that gives the dance its name, their linked bodies forming the circular, ever-widening pattern that is Warli painting's signature motif. Around the border, a village of huts, trees, and birds fills out the scene, all rendered in the same fine white line-work of stick-like figures and simple geometric shapes — circles, triangles, and lines — that this art form builds everything from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWarli painting comes from the Warli tribal community of the Maharashtra-Gujarat border region, one of India's oldest surviving folk art traditions. Traditionally painted with rice paste on mud walls plastered with cow dung, using a bamboo stick chewed at the tip as a brush, it was made to mark harvests, weddings, and other village occasions rather than to be sold or displayed. The Tarpa Nrutya itself is danced at these same weddings and harvest festivals, men and women moving in a continuous circle around the tarpa player at the centre — a literal picture of a community moving together, which is exactly what this composition sets out to show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor NRI households, this plate is a compact way to bring one of India's oldest tribal art traditions into a home abroad — a striking, conversation-starting piece for anyone building a collection of regional Indian folk art rather than more familiar decorative motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mango Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 inches diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted Warli art, Tarpa Nrutya (tarpa dance) motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-fitted hook at the back, ready to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EthniiChic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46147243671596,"sku":"EC-HD-WP-0058","price":1980.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0070\/7628\/files\/Warli_Tapra_Dance_wall_plate_ethniichic.jpg?v=1789230843","url":"https:\/\/ethniichic.com\/products\/tarpa-nrutya-hand-painted-warli-wooden-wall-plate","provider":"EthniiChic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
