Source: archive.org: Illustrations of Indian Music and Dance in Western Indian StyleMandragrāma (मन्द्रग्राम) is another name for mandra: one of the three grāmas (groups) used in Indian music.—Illustration of mandra (lowest group of tones) according to 15th century art.—The colour of the body of mandra-grāma is white. He holds a vīṇā (Indian lute) with both hands. The colour of the scarf is rosy and the colour of the lower garment is green and yellow. He is well-dressed and wears beautiful ornaments with a crown on the head.
The illustrations (of, for example Mandragrāma) are found scattered throughout ancient Jain manuscripts from Gujarat. The descriptions of these illustrations of this citrāvalī are based on the ślokas of Vācanācārya Gaṇi Sudhākalaśa’s Saṅgītopaniṣatsāroddhāra (14th century) and Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara (13th century).
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.
