Khajuraho's magic square is an hypercube

Abstract

The panmagic square engraved in a temple in Khajuraho, India, and studied by Narayana Pandita in the 14th century, closely guards a secret: its group of symmetries is isomorphic to that of the hypercube, the four-dimensional analogue of the standard cube.

This is a translation to English of the article {\em Le carré magique de Khajuraho est un hypercube}, published in 2020 in the CNRS disemination journal {\em Images des Mathématiques}. I strongly thank the participants of the special session on history of mathematics of the ICM 2026, particularly Clemency Montelle, for pushing me to make this translation available
