This document describes a magic square created by the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. The magic square has unusual properties beyond just having the sums of rows, columns and diagonals equal: the sums of the corner numbers, numbers in colored boxes, and central squares all equally 139. Most remarkably, the date of Ramanujan's birth - 22nd December 1887 - corresponds to the numbers in the first row of the magic square.
