In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Archaeological Survey of India: Śaiva monuments at Paṭṭadakal (śilpa)Sūryanārāyaṇa (सूर्यनारायण) is depicted as a sculpture on the ninth pillar of the southern half of the maṇḍapa of the temple of Lokeśvara in a scene known as “The story of the churning of the ocean”.—On the top of the mountain is a male figure which looks like Sūryanārāyaṇa and not Viṣṇu. By and large, the images of the Sun god are shown with two hands, holding lotus in each and a halo behind his head. Here also, it may not be wrong to identify the figure as Sūryanārāyaṇa because the figure has only two hands with a lotus in each.
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.
