Source: archive.org: Illustrations of Indian Music and Dance in Western Indian StyleNṛhṛṣyakā (नृहृष्यका) refers to a type of mūrchanā (melodic mode), and its illustration as a Goddess (according to 15th-century Indian art) is as follows.—The colour of her body is golden. She holds a khanjari with both hands in front of her breast. She wears a bodice of green colour, a scarf of rosy colour iwth a design of crimson-colour, the lower garment is of yellow colour with a red design. The trouser is of green colour with a black design with a border of golden colour and a design of dark-red colour.
The illustrations (of, for example Nṛhṛṣyakā) are found scattered throughout ancient Jain manuscripts from Gujarat. The descriptions of these illustrations of this citrāvalī are based on the ślokas of Vācanācārya Gaṇi Sudhākalaśa’s Saṅgītopaniṣatsāroddhāra (14th century) and Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara (13th century).
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.
