| Description | Astrological Diagram. Rajastani Tantric School. This astrological diagram was used for casting the future in conjunction with a form of dice. The four houses containing numbers (at the corners of the diagram) were the keys to accessing the diagram once the dice were cast. Mantras appear just outside the outer circle, between the houses of numbers, and surround the inner circle. The face in the center of the circle is surrounded by the names of vaious deities. |
