Shilpashastra (iconography)

: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)

The Crying Mood (of cocks) is associated with the time of Dawn, and follows specific guidelines of ancient Indian 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.鈥擨n the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, the rules of Painting of different classes have been elaborately discussed. The time of 耻峁Ｄ� i.e., dawn when the sun is about to rise. It seems to be a beautiful source of Painting. The picture of this time is associated with the rising of the sun, dim lamps and cocks in crying mood. [...]. Thus the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺 establishes the fact that even in the pictures; the people belonging to different class and profession [e.g., the crying mood of cocks] were projected with specific attire so that general people can equate the picture with the practical character.
