In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Pādasara (पादसर) refers to a type of “ornaments of leg” (padabhūṣaṇa), as defined in treatises such as the Pāñcarātra, Pādmasaṃhitā and Vaikhānasa-āgamas, extensively dealing with the technical features of temple art, iconography and architecture in Vaishnavism.—Pādasara are the ornaments decorating the top of the foot, below the ankles. These generally have the shape of a “garland” or chain, which appears to swaying smoothly over the surface of the feet.
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.
