In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Triveni Journal: Chitrasalas - Ancient Indian Art GalleriesSutikagriha refers to a type of building adorned with pictures.—Chitrasala was only the building where art was concentrated, so to say. It does not mean that other apartments and buildings were bereft of pictures and decoration. The Gadyachintamani mentions Saraswati’s picture as adorning the library hall and the Vidyamandapa as filled with pictures of Yamaloka; the Kadambari talks of pictures of the Sutikagriha and we have other apartments all filled with pictures.
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.
