In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Wisdom Library: Elements of Hindu IconograpyŚivasādākhya (शिवसादाख्य):—One of the Sadāśiva-tatvas that is produced from a tenth part of Parāśakti (first of the five Śaktis at the end of an aeonic destruction, called saṃhāra). It is also known by the name of Sadāśiva, because it is born of Parāśakti and is pure. It is called Śiva; and it exists everywhere as a subtle divine light, bright as the lightning and pervading the space in the universe.
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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of ŚivaŚivasādākhya (शिवसादाख्य) refers to the first of the five Sādākhya in Śaiva school of thought (the Tattvabhedapaṭala of Vātulāgama and the Śaivotpattipaṭala of Rauravāgama).—The process of assuming the form by the transcendental god is termed as Sādākhya. Śāntyatīta is another name for Parāśakti. The 1/1000 part of her is śiva-sādākhya. It is so called because it is pure and auspicious. It is subtle and is in the form of the light. It is the abode of all Tattvas and resembles the lightning in the sky.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
