most-perfect magic square from
the Parshvanath Jain temple in Khajuraho

Dear friends! Some years ago (in 2008) I received a picture about a most-perfect magic square from the Parshvanath Jain temple in Khajuraho named Chautisa Yantra but reffered also as "Khajuraho square" and / or "Khajuraho magic square" . According to magic square#India ^{Magic Squares and Cubes By William Symes Andrews, 1908, Open court publish company} the square is more then thousand years old / from the 10th-century.
testwiki:most-perfect_magic_square provides transliterations for a dozen of ISO 15924 scripts as Latn including Roman numerals and binary, Deva, Guru, Arab, Armn, Beng, Grek, Gujr, Hans · Hant · Jpan, Hebr, Knda, Kore, Mlym, Taml, Telu, Tibt and maybe some more. The wiki source code can be used for articles / stubs in languages using these scripts. Fonts are not optimized and all comments are welcome at the test subdomain page testwiki:most-perfect_magic_square. Please feel free to create (small) articles using the additional languages / scripts. Thanks for all your efforts in advance! lɛʁi ʁɑjnhɑʁt (Leri Reinhart)

I don't think this is a question, more an invitation. 92.25.66.109 (talk) 09:46, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we don't do sudoku here.

If properly sourced, it could be added to an appropriate article - and the OP could do it himself. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:35, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late answer! It is more than an invitation because it involves both an invitation at testwiki:most-perfect magic square/invited with an extra paragraph #invitatiion text intended for users with advanced knowledge of SVG.

On the other side w:en:talk:Cyrillic script#encoding of numerals tries to ilustrate that Latn numerals are used beside local scripts.

Please take some time to see if you can translate the article into a language not available jet and / or what benefit can be taken from this work. Best regards ʁɑjnhɑʁt (Leri Reinhart)
