Showpiece Tarpa

The Warlis are an indigenous tribe from Maharashtra's northern region. The Warlis, who are known around the world for their simple yet intricate paintings, have their own set of beliefs, animistic practices, and traditions. The tarpa is an essential part of Warli culture. During Warli festivities, this wind instrument is played with grandeur and passion. In a traditional Warli tarpa dance to celebrate major occasions such as harvests, men and women form a circle formation around the tarpa player. Tarpas are typically manufactured from dried gourds, bamboo poles, palm leaves, and honey, with clay and rice flour added for decoration. A traditional tarpa takes a lot of time and effort to make and tune. Bamboo, palm leaves, gum, and poster color are used to make this small tarpa. Handcrafted by the Warli tribe's experienced village artisans The bamboo and palm leaves are grown right in the village. While it makes some noise when played, it is not a conventional tarpa used for music. It can be used as a focal point or a showcase to bring life to your home's interiors. The tarpaulin stand works well as a tarpaulin holder. You can also hang it from your wall with this bespoke stand, which is precisely fitted for each tarpa, adding this hand-crafted tribal Indian cultural heritage feature to your home's walls.
Please keep in mind that this is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted item, so the appearance and feel may vary slightly. Each iteration will result in a different product. "
