There are several clans of Adivasis (original inhabitants) occupying part of the region north of Mumbai, the most numerous being the Warlis, who call themselves kings of the jungle. The Warli Tribe, which resides in the Thane district of Maharashtra, is spread out mainly in the villages of Dahanu, Talasari, Mokhada, Vada, and Palghara. For our study we chose the village of Dahanu. The origin of the Warlis is yet unknown, and no records of their art form are found, but many scholars and folklorists believe that it can be traced to as early as the tenth century A.D., when such men learnt to build walls of the house. The economy of the Warlis is basically agrarian. The Warlis have survived for millennia in harmony with their environment and without oppressing others. Their culture incorporates the spiritual and material, living and non-living, into one integral whole.
