Shilpashastra (iconography)

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

Ripe Grain is associated with the Autumn Season, which follows specific guidelines of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa gives some instructions to make the picture of every season beautiful and natural. Taking the fullness of nature as a theme, in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the portrait of the autumn season is prescribed to be depicted with the picture of the earth covered with the plants full of fruits and the fields filled with plenty of ripe grains. [...] Thus, the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa addresses various elements of nature, such as ripe grains in the autumn season, since painting has much connection with time, mood and activity.
