In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (śilpa)Tālamāna (तालमान) refers to one of the two major iconometric schemes, as defined in the texts dealing with śilpa (arts and crafs), known as śilpaśāstras.—The sthapatis have always produced their images according to prescribed measurements. In the making of the images, the sthapati follows two types of iconometry, the tālamāna and the aṅgulamāna. The word tāla refers to the length of the palm, which is considered to be equivalent in sculptures, as in human beings, to the length of face from forehead to chin. Between the two schemes, tālamāna iconometry is more popular probably because the differences that exist as to the size of the basic unit in the aṅgulamāna iconometry are inhibitive factors in that scheme.
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.
