Shilpashastra (iconography)
Dead Bodies in ancient Indian Painting (citra) are associated with either (1) the Funeral pile or (2) the Battle-field, 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 context of identification of some particular places through picture, the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa gives some instructions. According to this book, the picture of funeral piles and dead bodies indicate burial sites. [...] The ground of the battle field should be filled with scattered dead bodies smeared with blood.
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.
