: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)An Army in ancient Indian Painting (citra) is associated with the Battle-field, according to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.鈥擨n the context of identification of some particular places through picture, the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺 gives some instructions. According to this book, the picture of battle field should have 肠补迟耻谤补峁単补产补濒补 i.e., a complete section of army consisting of elephants, chariots, cavalry and infantry. Moreover, the ground of the battle field should be filled with scattered dead bodies smeared with blood. In the Ve峁嚹玸a峁僪膩ra, a fierce description of a battle field is found where the field is filled with dead bodies, human flashes, blood etc.
