In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (ś貹)۲ṣa貹ī (यक्षपती) or Kubera is one of the ṣṭ徱첹 (“eight guardians of the directions�), as defined according to texts dealing with ś貹 (arts and crafs), known as ś貹śāstras.—In dance, when the right hand of the dancer assumes -ٲ and the left hand of the dancer assumes 貹첹-ٲ, it is -ٲ. If the dancer holds padma-hasta in the left hand and -ٲ in the right hand, it is the hasta for ۲ṣa貹ī (Lord of Yakṣas is Kubera). In images, ۲ṣa貹ī is found with a sword in the right hand and a shield in the left hand. In this case, there is dissimilarity in the relevance of the postures of the hands in dancing and iconography.

Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, ś貹śāstra) 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.
