Indian Palmistry

The text surveys the art of cheiromancy, tracing its roots in ancient eastern and western traditions and outlining its relation to astrology. It provides a systematic glossary of hand features—mounts named for planets and major lines such as life, head, heart, and fate—offering precise locations and conventional interpretations for character, health, fortune, and social prospects. The author compares classical authorities, translates technical terms into practical language, includes illustrative plates for reference, and discusses the method's limits and common pitfalls while offering guidance for reading hands without asserting absolute certainties.
