Indrajala

Indrajala is a type of magic that was popular in parts of India. It's a way of performing special kinds of tricks to make it look like something amazing is happening. People used it to make it look like objects would move on their own, or make an animal appear from nowhere, or make things grow and disappear. It usually involves finding special places or objects to use in the trick, like secret ingredients or specific items that the performer needs. It takes a lot of practice and skill to learn the special ways of doing Indrajala tricks, and it has been used in many Hindu ceremonies.
