Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)A Red Glow in ancient Indian Painting (citra) is associated with Evening Rituals, according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—In ancient time Brahmins had to be engaged with their daily rituals during evening time. Taking this as a theme the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa suggests the painters to show the evening time with the picture of the Brahmins who are busy in their rituals of evening and the picture should be adorned with red glow.
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.
