Shilpashastra (iconography)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)The Moon refers to class of natural objects and phenomenon which follows specific guidelines in the tradition 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.鈥擳he Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺 bears an elaborate description on the process of making the picture of some natural objects and phenomenon, e.g., the Moon. Accordingly, the picture of natural phenomenon like night should be drawn always with the moon, planets and stars. A beautiful picturisation of night with a sky full of stars and moon is found in the K膩damabar墨. [...] Thus, the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺 addresses various elements of nature, such as the Moon, since painting has much connection with time, mood and activity.
Shilpashastra (啶多た啶侧啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 艣ilpa艣膩stra) 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.
