Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (śilpa)Baṅgāru Kāmākṣi is the name of a deity depicted at the Kamakshi Amman Temple in Kanchipuram, one of the most sacred places for the worship of the Goddess (Devī).—To the right of the main sanctum, there is the sanctum for Śrī Baṅgāru Kāmākṣi or Svarṇa Kāmākṣi. This Svarṇa Kāmākṣi became Baṅgāru Kāmākṣi as the Nayak king of Tanjore sheltered this icon in a special temple from getting destroyed or robbed. In 1941, the Āchārya of Kāmākṣi pīṭha instituted the holy feet of Baṅgāru Kāmākṣi in Kāñci. Here, only the holy feet are kept in stone.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
