In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: archive.org: Illustrations of Indian Music and Dance in Western Indian StylePrasāraṇī (प्रसारणी, “spreading”).—Illustration of Prasāraṇī-śruti according to 15th century art:—The colour of her body is golden. She holds a vīṇā with both hands. The colour of her bodice is blue and the scarf is rosy with a white design, its both borders being green. The colour of the lower garment is rosy with a red design.
The illustrations (of, for example Prasāraṇī) 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).
