Thus this extended angle just hinted at above, brought me in closer contact with practically all the principal texts dealing with this side-branch of Vāstu-śāstra, the Citra-vidyā. A study of these texts inspired me first to work out a compilation of the Citralakṣaṇam, under as many as twenty-one headings, exhausting practically all the canons which the ancient masters had evolved. It is expected that this compilation simply not only mirrors the ancient canons of pictorial art, but also gives us a valuable information on the development in this fascinating domain of Indian art.
