what is an "yanthra" and are there still people who can put such "yanthras?"

“Yantra” is generally a copper foil inscribed with mystical geometric pattern and so-called holy words. It has been prepared to meet the materialistic expections (solace/threat ). The believers consider that certain yantras bring good fortunes to themselves and even destruction to their enemies (Thakadu Vaithal). Please don’t misunderstand this word as “Iyanthiram”, which means mechanical equipment (generally useful).

These days, lots of so-called Tantrics, godmen and astrologers are making this kind of yandras. People are buying it based on their nature of materialistic expectations. Yandras are made in Gold and silver for rich and wealthy people or for people those who are in big troubles!!!
