The Tarpa Player

Bhiklya Ladkya Dhinda is one of the last Tarpa players in Walvanda, Maharashtra. The Tarpa Player forms the core of Warli Art and the Adivasi community.

He is 85 years old, and can move about like a 40-year old. His energy, optimism and drive is infectious. He is an inspiration to all, and I hope you like this simple character vignette.
