In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Seers refers to the Sages (in Sanskrit: Ṛṣis), who, in ancient times, could visualise everything as portraits in the mind.—From the ancient period till today, many natural objects like trees, flowers, leaves, forests, mountains, sun, moon etc. and natural phenomenon like day and night, the seasons, rain etc. always seem to inspire the artist to make beautiful creations. Even the sages in the Vedic period used to see the surroundings and could visualise everything as portraits in the mind. That is why the sages are called the seers but not doer—ṛṣi darśanāt. So, surroundings and the objects in the surroundings always play a strong role in the conceptualisation of an idea by a painter or an artist.
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.
