Source: Google Books: The Book of Hindu Imagery: Gods, Manifestations and Their MeaningThis crown is smaller than the kiritamukuta and tapers to a point like a pile of plates in narrower and narrower layers. A god or goddess who is wearing this crown, in this way shows his subordinate position in the pantheon.
Source: Google Books: Elements of Hindu iconographyKaraṇḍamukuṭa (करण्डमुकुट):—For all the other gods what is called the Karaṇḍa-mukuṭa is prescribed. It is a crown made in the shape of a karaṇḍa which is generally a bowl-shaped vessel. It is short in height and small in size, and is, as pointed out above, indicative of subordination in status. This is the headgear of all the various kinds of goddesses; it is prescribed, among human beings, to adhirājas also. Sometimes even cakravartins are seen to wear only the Karaṇḍa-mukuṭa.
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.
