Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Shilpashastra (iconography)
: Shodhganga: Vaisnava Agamas And Visnu Imagesṃyܳٲ (असंयुत) refers to “hand gestures using one hand�, as defined in treatises such as the Pāñcarātra, Pādmasaṃhitā and Vaikhānasa-āgamas, extensively dealing with the technical features of temple art, iconography and architecture in Vaishnavism.—The Vaiṣṇava Agamic treatises refer to two types of hastas or ܻ viz. ṃtܳٲ (combined) i.e. using both the hands and ṃyܳٲ i.e. using one hand. One can find a number of hand gestures in these texts out of the well-known thirty-two major hand poses, twelve hand movements and twenty-four combined hand poses.

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.
