Kumaradeva was an Indian sculptor from the 8th century. His works include The Buddhist Goddess Shyama Tara (Green Tara) Attended by Sita Tara (White Tara) and Bhrikuti [1] He is also the author of the treatise Silparatna, which provides an account of the Fresco-secco painting technology in detail. According to this text, a picture should be painted with appropriate colours along with proper forms and sentiments (rasas), and moods and actions (bhavas).[2]
