In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: academia.edu: Dvādaśa-mūrti in Tamil Tradition (iconography)Meghaśyāmavarṇa (मेघश्यामवर्ण) refers to the “colour resembling a rain-drenched cloud”, according to the Śrītattvanidhi (verse 2.19-42) citing the Pāñcarātrāgama-Kriyapāda.— Nārāyaṇa’s Mien (colour of the body) is of the rain-drenched cloud (meghaśyāmavarṇa), pītāmbara (silk is either white or pale yellow), and ornaments of uttama-ratnas. According to the Caturviṃśatimūrtilakṣaṇa, The Pāñcarātra tradition (describing Keśava) got a stronghold over the Vaiṣṇava tradition by about the fourth century CE, e.g. the Ahirbhūdhnya-saṃhitā and so its impact on the Tamil Paripāṭal and hymns of the Āḻvārs is quite natural.
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.
