Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Green (colour) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Palāśa and represents one of the five secondary or mixed colours in the ancient Indian tradition of 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. In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, five colours are regarded as the primary ones, (viz., white, yellow, vilomata, black, dark-blue). A painter can create hundreds or thousands of colours by amalgamating the primary colours. As for example—the green colour (palāśa) is created with the mixture of blue and yellow. The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa says that the quantity of yellow colour should be more than that of the blue.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) 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.
