    In early medieval Kashmir, the region arose as the domain of Pāñcarātra Vaiṣṇavism. The Viṣṇudharmottara Purāṇa, believed to have been written in Kashmir or North Punjab, documents this important religious development and contains information on the art, iconography, and worship of Vaikuṇṭha Viṣṇu, the principal deity of Pāñcarātra. While documenting these topics, the authors of the third section of the Viṣṇudharmottara Purāṇa tried to reinterpret traditional fields of knowledge from a sectarian Vaiṣṇava perspective

    ABSTRACT

    In the early medieval period, Kashmir arose as the domain of Pāñcarātra of Vaiṣṇava. The
    Viṣṇudharmottara Purāṇa believed to be written in Kashmir, or North Punjab is a testimonial
    of this critical phase in the religious development of the region. The third khaṇḍa of the
    Viṣṇudharmottara documents the Art, Iconography and worship related to Vaikuṇṭha Viṣṇu,
    the principal deity of the Pāñcarātra. However, while doing so, the writer/s of the
    Viṣṇudharmottara khaṇḍa III tries to re-interpret the traditional fields of knowledge from the
    sectarian position and makes them an intrinsic part of the Vaiṣṇavite world. In this context,
    the exposition of Performing Arts in the text is a curious case to fathom.
