About this piece
A square copper plate under the plain name Jain Yantra. The photo shows seven lines of Devanagari text across the upper half, with a small grid at the top right, and larger grids of numerals below.
It measures 15 cm each side. The listing gives no weight and does not say which Jain yantra it is, so check the listing or ask the seller before you buy if that matters to you.
How it is used
Many Jain homes keep a yantra in the home shrine and recite the mantras engraved on it. Practices vary by community and teacher.
Looking after it
