Shilpashastra (iconography)

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

Stars in a painting follow the 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. 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 stars, since painting has much connection with time, mood and activity.
