Then, there emerged from the water a turtle with a curious figure/pattern on its shell, which at the time was considered to be a very auspicious omen. It is also known as laxmi yantra in India. This square was remarkable because every horizontal, vertical, and diagonal row added up to 15. Fifteen is the number of days between the new moon and full moon respectively.
