In ancient time walls are seen to be plastered with different substances (i.e., “wax from bees”) and these were prepared for Painting. [...] For the process of plastering on a wall (i.e., kuḍya or bhitti), the painter needs to mix and mingle various ingredients [viz., madhūcchiṣṭa i.e., wax from bees, ... etc.]. After that, the mixture should be transferred to a touch stone mortar for the process of pounding.
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.
