In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Rocks should adorn Mountains in a painting, following the guidelines of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa bears an elaborate description on the process of making the picture of some natural objects and phenomenon. According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the picture of mountain should be adorned with plenty of rocks, peaks, metals, trees, streams and snakes. [...]. Thus, the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa addresses various elements of nature, such as Rocks, since painting has much connection with time, mood and activity.
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.
