Shilpashastra (iconography)

: archive.org: Journal of the Madras University, vol.28 (shilpa)

Sandhikarman (啶膏え啷嵿ぇ啶苦啶班啶え啷�) refers to the 鈥渏oinery, the framing or joining of wood for the internal and external finishings of houses鈥� according to the 17th chapter of the M膩nas膩ra.鈥斺€渢hus the covering and lining of rough walls, the covering of rough timbers, the manufacture of doors, shutters, sashes, stairs, and the like, are classed under the head of joinery鈥�. Cf. also 蝉补峁僤丑颈产补苍诲丑补鈥斺€渁 material that makes two bodies stick together, cement, mortar鈥� (Inscr.).

In verse 17.10 sandhikarman is mentioned in connection with 办耻岣峺补鈥撯€渨all鈥�. In the light of these facts the circumstance that in the earlier literature 蝉补峁僤丑颈-, when referring to holes in a wall, is exclusively found in the expression 蝉补峁僤丑颈峁� chid- is significant. This must have meant 鈥渢o make a hole in the (wood-) joinery (or, in a juncture).鈥�

Sandhikarma (啶膏え啷嵿ぇ啶苦啶班啶�) (鈥渨ood joinery) is a term that goes back at least as far as medieval times and which has been traced to Manasara as the source of the medieval V膩stu艣膩stras as written guide for artists and artisans, is prescribed in very specific ways. Different procedures are appropriate to different parts of a building. The importance of the grid in South Asian art comes to mind as a carpenter prepares a grilled pattern by using a hakhi or string dusted with black color with a plumb attached at the end. When this string is tight along a plank and parallel to its border, as checked with a right angle, the carpenter dabs along the4 length of the string to leave a black line on th3e surface of the wood. This is repeated until the entire plank is marked with parallel lines and the workman then saws along these lines to make strips of wood. The parts of a decorative pattern are then drawn on the plank in such a way that the strips will become interlocking parts of an integrated whole that is both practical and beautiful . The strips meet precisely at 45-degree angles, pressed together and interlocking so that no nails or glue are needed. Attachments may be added over such grillwork.
