In this book, the writer has presented the measurement of almost all the body parts that should be maintained in a picture. For example, Vṛṣaṇa (“scrotum”) should be 4 aṅgulas (wide).
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.
