The art is characterised by the use of basic geometric shapes—circles, triangles, and squares—to narrate stories. One of the most iconic motifs in Warli paintings is the “tarpa dance,” where figures dance in a circle, symbolising unity and joy. Squares in the artwork often represent sacred spaces or the earth goddess, reflecting the community’s deep connection to nature and spirituality.Prime Minister thanked President Sheinbaum for the support extended by Mexico in India’s fight against terrorism.

Prime Minister underlined that the two countries should explore collaboration in the fields of semiconductors, AI, Quantum and critical minerals. The leaders also noted upcoming engagements between the think-tank communities of the two sides, and the vibrant cultural and people-to-people ties between the two countries, which will promote tourism flows as well.PM Modi also gifted to French President Emmanuel Macron a handcrafted Dokra Nandi sculpture from Tamil Nadu during his visit to Canada for the G7 Summit earlier this week.
