The types of Paintings that can be used in Household. Traditional Chitrasastra.
There are four classes of paintings in Indian chitrasastra.
They are:
1. Satyam: True to life in an oblong frame. This must be like urvashi's image from Mango juice drawn by Sage, "Narayan". It
should carry exact proportions and should have a nice beautiful body.
2. Vainikam: Less in grandeur in comparison to Satyam in a square frame. Rich in postures, having good proportions and carries square as frame. Well finished as well. It carries scanty garlands and ornaments.
3. Nagaram: The paintings of citizens, towns in round frame.
4. Mishram: Mixed. It carries a mix of above three.
There are nine rasas, which a painting can depict:
• Shringar: Every form of love and Beauty.
• Hasya: laughing
• Karuna: Empathy
• Veera: Heroic
• Raudra
• Bhayanak: Fearsome
• Vibhatsa: loathsome, Disgust
• Adhbhut; Bewilderment
• Shantam: Peace.
Only the pictures related to Shringaar, Hasya and Shantam rasa should be used in the house. The other pictures create troubles.
DEFECTS IN PAINTINGS:
Indistinct, uneven,
inarticulate delineation, figures with thick lips, bigger hands, inappropriate proportions (Almost all so called modern deformed arts are covered), eyes big, unrestrained in movements and actions are the defects of chitra. Improper colors also come under defects of chitra.
The
above kind of defects brings all kinds of troubles to the householders where such paintings are placed.
Besides Indian paiting system follows Shadang or six canons in paintings.
The picture attached depicts Shringaar Rasa.
