It is entirely linear, the lines being angular and without modelling capacity and there is no attempt at modelling in colour. The style reminds one of another folk art, that of the tribe of Warlis. There is angularity and restlessness in the figures facing one way or the other. They all join hands signifying solidarity. Above each one's head is a curved line with emerging rays. Their attire is a long gown with horizontal stripes. There is a tendency towards simplification of line and hence the faces are simple triangles with a dot to denote the eye. The hair is another darker triangle attached to the head. It just strengthens the fact that folk art is not based on a system. The artist frees himself of accepted symbols here. And by a mystical transformation of movements, gestures and behaviours, he transforms the body into spirit.
