Warli Art Classes for Kids in Saudi Arabia
Warli, the whole world drawn from three shapes
Warli is built from a circle, a triangle and a line, and out of those three shapes the Warli people of Maharashtra draw harvests, weddings, hunts and the tarpa dance. For a child it is the clearest possible lesson in how much you can say with very little, and it is the one folk form a five-year-old can genuinely do well.

Warli, the whole world drawn from three shapes
Because Warli looks simple, it is usually taught as a stick-figure exercise. What gets lost is that it is narrative art — every panel is a scene with people doing something together. We teach the vocabulary and then the composition, so the child ends up telling a story rather than scattering figures.
Saudi Arabia has the largest Indian community in the Gulf by number, concentrated in Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province around Dammam and Al Khobar. There are no public temples and religious practice is private, so for most of these families the home is the only place a child will hear a shloka chanted properly — and many parents are not confident doing it themselves.

Batch timings for Saudi Arabia
Live classes on AST (UTC+3), scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Saudi Arabia is two and a half hours behind India, with no daylight saving. Weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM local is 7:30 to 10:00 PM in India. Weekend batches run on Friday and Saturday, the Saudi weekend, and we keep the calendar around Ramadan school timings, which shift the whole household’s day.
What your child walks away able to do

Arts & Painting runs in person at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, and, like every class of ours, at our HSR Layout centre, 243, 16th Main Road, Sector 3, HSR Layout, Bengaluru 560102. Both use the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. Families outside Bengaluru take the online batches, which cover the identical curriculum.
Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For warli art classes for kids that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for AST (UTC+3). Saudi Arabia is two and a half hours behind India, with no daylight saving.
“Timezone was our biggest worry. Smriti Samskara made it effortless, the Mahabharata class fits perfectly into our London evenings, and the storytelling quality is simply exceptional.”
