About the Event
Tālamānam: (Understanding Shilpa Shastra through Iconography and Measurements)
Date: Sept 13.24
Time: 12 pm - 5 pm
Location: KNMA Saket
Description:
The ancient Indian art of sculpture, rooted in the principles of Shilpa Shastra, was developed using precise criteria of measurement and proportion. This intricate system of iconography, known as Tālamānam, involves measuring using the palm (from the tip of the middle finger to the wrist) and is essential in creating temple icons and images.
This workshop is led by Sudhir, a passionate calligrapher and portrait artist, currently serving as a Museum Assistant at The National Museum, New Delhi. The measurement of idols, often depicted in supernatural forms, varies across cultures, each with its unique sculpting methods honed over thousands of years. Different methods of measuring idols are identified by distinct symbols. In this workshop, Sudhir will guide participants in understanding hand mudras, body postures, Kesh Vinyas (hair arrangement), and the measurement of sculptures, using the 'Taal' from the KNMA Collection.
