Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (śilpa)Āñjaneya is the name of a deity depicted at the Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam (Śrī Raṅgam), which represents a sacred place for the worship of Viṣṇu.—The devotee enters the temple from one of the entrances where there is the sannidhi for Āñjaneya. Āñjaneya is found in samapāda-sthānaka with hands in añjali-hasta. To the left of the sannidhi of Āñjaneya is the sanctum for Rāmānuja. To the right, there are the sanctums for Garuḍ āl vār, Cakratālvār, Viṣṇu Durgā and Veṇugopāl. As one proceeds further from the Āñjaneya’s sannidhi, there is the Garuḍa Maṇḍapa where Garuḍ a is found in añjali-hasta.
Āñjaneya is also depicted at the Andal Temple in Srivilliputtur (Villiputtur or Thiruvilliputtur), representing a sacred place for the worship of The Goddess (Devī).—To the left of the main entrance, there is the sannidhi for Śrī Āñjaneya (Hanumān). He is found standing in samapāda-sthānaka and samabhaṅga with the hands in añjali-hasta. As the devotee preceeds to the outer passage from the sannidhi of Śrī Āñjaneya, he/she finds the sannidhi of Śrīnivāsa Sundarāja.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
