Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)The Hot Season is associated with the Summer 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. In the Ṛtusaṃhāra, giving the description of the summer season, Kālidāsa says that the summer season is the hot season when the sun becomes fierce and the moon becomes peaceful. Due to the hot weather, the animal of the forest become exhausted and that is why even the peacocks do not kill the serpents. The wild pigs hide themselves in ponds wherein the mud dries up. [...] Thus, every season has its own peculiarities and charms, such as the hot season. The seasons always encourage the painters to grab different ideas from the nature.
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.
