In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of Śiva (shilpa)Purāri (पुरारि) or Purārimūrti refers to one of the eight forms (mūrti) of Śiva mentioned in the Rauravāgama: the sixteenth among the Siddhāntaśaivāgamas. The forms of Śiva (e.g., Purāri) are established through a process known as Sādākhya, described as a five-fold process of creation.
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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaPurāri (पुरारि) refers to “Tripurāntaka”, according to the Kāmikāgama: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century and represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (kriyāpāda).—In modern print editions, the Kāmika-āgama is structured in two major parts. The Uttarabhāga consists of 98 chapters (paṭalas) [...] In Chapters 47 to 54, we find accounts of installation for images of Śiva with Umā and Skanda, images of Candraśekhara, Tripurāntaka (purāri-sthāpana), Liṅgodbhava, Dakṣiṇāmūrti, Bhikṣāṭana, Balibhartā, and Śarabheśa.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
