The brief was horizontal-band symmetry for a celestial-farming subject — not tarpa dance ring, not chauk wedding square. Rain cloud harvest in Warli grammar means cloud arcs as scalloped white bands, rain as dashed vertical strokes, and labour band below showing oxen plough — the image truth we verified on canvas, not a passive farmer looking up alone. Horizontal-band stacks sky register, work register, and future-harvest register the way classical walls separated seasonal narrative tiers. What we refused: multicolor monsoon washes, perspective rain depth, concentric dance rings, central chauk. What we kept legible: five overlapping clouds, oxen triangle bodies with curved horns, plough line, hut square with thatch triangle, wavy divider, nine mound plants as harvest promise row. Light density preserves geru-wall silence between rain dashes.
