Select correct sequence of elements as described six limbs (shading) of Indian painting :

  • A.Bhava, Lavanya, Praman, Rupabheda
  • B.Rupabheda, Bhava, Lavanya, Praman
  • C.Rupabheda, Praman, Bhava, Lavanya
  • D.Praman, Rupabheda, Lavanya, Bhava

Answer: C

The six limbs (Shadanga) of Indian painting, in the order given in the Sanskrit texts, are Rupabheda (distinctions of form), Pramana (proportion), Bhava (emotion), Lavanya Yojana (grace and artistic representation), Sadrishya (similarity) and Varnikabhanga (use of colours). The first four are therefore Rupabheda, Praman, Bhava, Lavanya.

The options that begin with Bhava, with Praman, or place Bhava before Praman, reverse this standard order. The option Rupabheda, Bhava, Lavanya, Praman puts Praman after the others, and so is wrong.
