Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Accessories and Costumes follows specific guidelines in the tradition of ancient Indian Painting (citra), 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 the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the rules of Painting of different classes have been elaborately discussed. The costumes and accessories of different personalities in a picture are also described in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa. Different works of Sanskrit literature can offer a vast field of example in this regard. Though the references of costume and attires of different personalities found in the writings of different poets are not in the form of a portrait, but these descriptions supply a pen picture of the characters and it can create a definite form in the mind of the readers.
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.
