Shilpashastra (iconography)
1) The Bright colour is associated with the garments of bards, singers, dancers and musicians, which 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. Moreover, the costumes and accessories of different personalities in a picture are also described. The garments of bards, singers, dancers and musicians should be bright in colour.
2) The Bright colour is associated with Śakra (Indra) iconography.—According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa the image of Sun god should be adorned with bright coloured attire. The Bṛhatsaṃhitā suggests that the attire of Sun god should be in northern style. Thus it is clear that the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa offers a great field of knowledge regarding the nuances of Indian art of Image making [e.g., the bright colour] during 10th–11th century A.D.
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.
