Three Styles in the Architecture of Varli Dwellings By V. N. Sisodia fo Intro duction ; Varli tribes are found all over the mountains and re sts of Thana District, Dharampur, Bansda, and Feint Talukas, and to the /ft a nd southeast of Surat (fig. 1 a). They are spread over an area of about S ^ Sq. Miles 1 , and number about 207 051 (105 218 males and 101833 te males) 2. The Varlis have lost all traditions concerning their origin, with the ^ Xce Pti°n of a few songs and tales which relate in detail their mythical origin p m birds and plants. They speak a language which is akin to Konkani. r ° m the linguistic point of view Konkan and southern Maharastra could r °bably be taken as their motherland. ^ The Varlis are primarily plough agriculturists, but their primitive means Ihu^ 8 ^ anC ^ k urn cultivation leave no surplus for the summer months. They ^ s ^ Urn f° 0< i gathering and hunting. Some families wander considerable of t>! nCeS search I ac I° r y labour. Forests and mountains restrict the size and Glr w bich are only small terraces, where dangar {Oryza sativa-Linn.) na gli (Eleusive coracana-Gaertn.) are cultivated, y- ^he economy of the tribe has greatly influenced their architecture. The are] 18 ^ana District lead a settled agricultural life and thus their villages n c r ge and their houses rectangular or square, while the Varlis of Dharampur, ns ba, and Feint Talukas build oval or round huts. a , . the present article I restrict myself to the description of Varli hectare in the Dharampur Taluka (fig. 1 b). /"he Varlis live in small settlements or pddds of seven to ten huts.
