Shilpashastra (iconography)

The Bean is denoted by the Sanskrit term M膩峁, and represents a particular shade of the blue color, created through the principles of the ancient Indian tradition of Painting (citra), 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. In the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, five colours are regarded as the primary ones. Mixing of colours is a great technique used by the artists to make numerous shades of colours. Many shades of a particular colour also can be created by increasing or decreasing the quantity of the white part in the mixture. [...] The colour of the blue lotus (苍墨濒辞迟辫补濒补) and bean (尘腻峁) can be created when blue is amalgamated with light whitish yellow in more, less or in equal.
