The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: McGill: The architectural theory of the Mānasāra (iconography)Daśatāla (दशताल, “ten-span”).—Among the several iconometric schemes possible with the tāla, the Mānasāra elaborates the daśatāla, “ten-span”, scheme. In the daśatāla scheme, the height of the image has ten basic divisions (each division being one tāla). Each tāla has twelve subdivisions (echoing the division 12 aṅgula = 1 vitasti); thus basically, the height in the daśatāla scheme has 120 (10 x 12) subdivisions.
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.
