In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Wisdom Library: Śilpa-śāstraŚreṇibandha (श्रेणिबन्ध) refers to a variety of adhiṣṭhāna, which is a pedestal or base of a structure, and a very important component in the art of construction (śilpa). Śreṇibandha is mentioned in the Mānasāra (chapter 14) as having a further four sub-varieties. It is also mentioned in the Mayamata, Kāśyapaśilpa and the Śilparatna. Śreṇibandha is classified under its parent group named pādabandha, according to the Kāśyapaśilpa.
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.
Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: Shodhganga: Temples of Salem region Up to 1336 ADŚreṇibandha (श्रेणिबन्ध).—A type of adhiṣṭhāna (‘pedestal’);—Śreṇibandha-adhiṣṭhāna is also mentioned in Mayamata (verse 14.33), Mānasāra (verses 14.62-72) and Kāśyapaśilpa (verses 6.61-65). This type adhiṣṭhāna is an uncommon type like that of Śrīkānta. One type of śreṇibandha-adhiṣṭhāna is mentioned in Mayamata, which states that this should possess twenty six equal parts. However Mānasāra mentions 4 variants of śreṇibandha-adhiṣṭhāna possessing eighteen parts, twenty two parts, twenty three parts and twenty four parts. Mānasāra prescribes this type of plinth for temples as well as other structures, while Mayamata disagrees and states that the śreṇibandha-adhiṣṭhāna is suitable only for gods. This plinth possesses minor mouldings like fillets and doucines interspersing the major mouldings like upāna, jagati, kumuda, and prati. This plinth should be decorated with lions etc.
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
