हस्तसामुद्रिकशास्त्र/Palmistry
Palmistry, also known as chiromancy or palm reading, is the practice of interpreting the lines, shapes, and features of the palm to gain insights into a person's personality, life events, and potential future. This ancient art has been practiced in various cultures, including India, China, and Egypt, for thousands of years. In palmistry, key areas of the palm—such as the heart line, head line, life line, and fate line—are believed to reflect different aspects of a person’s emotional, intellectual, and physical well-being. Palm readers analyze these lines, as well as the shape of the hand, fingers, and mounts (raised areas), to provide a holistic interpretation of one's life journey. Though often regarded as a form of divination, palmistry is also seen as a tool for self-reflection.
