Artisan Secret
The stand's curvature follows the "darpana vimana" measurements from:
-
Tantrasamuchayam (15th century text)
-
Arulmigu Meenakshi Temple mirror archives
Each mirror undergoes 11-day "prana pratishtha" rituals before dispatch.
Not just a mirror – it's God's own reflection.
Includes palm-leaf manuscript with mirror installation mantras.
