Magic Matrix in a 1000-year old Temple

Tamil Numerals

Guess what is this.

I captured this during the Chennai Photowalk #249 to Dhenupureswarar Temple at Madambakkam without realizing what it meant. Only a reading of the blog by Mr Veludharan made me aware that it is a ‘magic’ matrix. Those who are familiar with Tamizh numerals will be able to guess. The clue is No. 15.

The numbers add up to 15 in all directions – horizontal, vertical, and diagonal.

Found on the ‘mottai gopuram’ entrance.
