Dhanasena

Dhanasena, also known as Dhanaṣaṇā in Sanskrit, is an ancient Indian mathematical tool used for financial calculations, specifically for dividing and sharing profits or assets. It functions as a proportional or ratio-based calculator, helping users determine fair divisions based on specified ratios. Traditionally crafted from wood or metal, Dhanasena simplifies complex calculations in business dealings, inheritance, and resource allocation. Its design embodies the principles of proportional distribution, making it a practical aid for merchants and administrators in ensuring equitable sharing in various economic scenarios.
