In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Plaster (being applied to walls) was commonly used as the basis for a Canvas in the ancient Indian art of Painting (citra), and can be denoted by the Sanskrit terms Kuḍya or Bhitta.—In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, it is suggested that before going to start Painting on walls one should plaster a wall. For the process of kuḍya i.e., plastering on a wall, the painter needs iṣṭakācūrṇa i.e., powder of bricks and mṛd i.e., clay as basic ingredients. To prepare this at first the powder of three kinds of brick and one third of clay should be mixed. [...] In the Mānasollāsa also, lime is prescribed to make a canvas. [...] When the paste is completely dried up, it will be ready for use as plaster and the painters can apply this on a wall according to their necessity.

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.
