Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Delivering the offerings (to the deities) is associated with Svāhā, the wife of Agni, whose iconography is described in 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.—Goddess Svāhā is the wife of Agni. In the Svāhopākhyāna of Prakṛtikhaṇḍa of the Brahmavaivarttapurāṇa, the role of Svāhā is considered to be very important in delivering the offerings to the deities. In the Brahmavaivarttapurāṇa, Svāhā is believed as the burning power of Agni as she is his wife and it is stated here that without her, Agni cannot burn anything. So it can be assumed that Svāhā and Agni, both need to be together for the accomplishment of the duty of Agni. Thus it is clear that the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa offers a great field of knowledge regarding the nuances of Indian art of Image making [e.g., delivering the offerings] 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.
