Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Tired Men are associated with the Summer season, which follows specific guidelines of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa gives some instructions to make the picture of every season beautiful and natural. According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, Grīṣma i.e., the summer season should be exhibited with the picture having tired men, deer-wandering for shade, buffaloes-hiding themselves in mud to get rid of heat and dried water sources like pools, lakes etc. projecting the season of drought. [...] Thus, the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa addresses various elements of nature, such as tired men in summer season, since painting has much connection with time, mood and activity.
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.
