Meaning
A 4×4 magic square carved at the Parshvanath temple in Khajuraho, India, roughly a thousand years ago. Every row, column and diagonal adds up to 34, and so do many other groups of four cells. It is one of the oldest known squares of its kind.
Practice
Trace the rows, columns and diagonals with your eyes and notice how every path arrives at 34. Traditionally it is kept as a symbol of balance.
