In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Saṃdhibandha (संधिबन्ध) refers to a “material that makes two bodies stick together, cement, mortar”. Cf. Sandhikarman (“joinery, the framing or joining of wood for the internal and external finishings of houses”) as mentioned in the 17th chapter of the Mānasāra.
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.
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
Sandhibandha (सन्धिबन्ध) refers to the “well-set (joints)” (of the fingers of the feet of a Hawk), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the yellow-eyed division of hawks]: “The following are the good points common to all these birds, namely, the ‘stalke’ (leg) should be short, round, thick and strong, the feet should have long fingers, well-set in their joints (suśliṣṭa-sandhibandha) and with fierce nails. Their whole make should be like the Svastika mark (+)”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
