Palmistry / Hast Rekha
Read the language of the hand — lines, mounts, fingers and signs, explained as traditional interpretation rather than prediction.
How this page works
This page explains palmistry (Hast Rekha) as traditional interpretation, not prediction: the four main lines — life, head, heart and fate — the mounts, the fingers and thumb, and special signs on the palm, in English and Hindi. It makes no claims about lifespan or health.
What you enter: nothing to read the knowledge sections. To read your own hand, answer the page's questions about what you see on your palm; the reading is built from your answers.
Worked example: the heart line runs across the upper palm below the fingers and the head line runs across the middle; tradition reads the first for emotional life and the second for the way a person thinks. A long, clear head line is traditionally read as steady concentration — a description of a tendency, not a forecast.

Which hand should be read?
Traditionally the dominant hand (the one you write with) is read for the life you are actively making, and the non-dominant hand for inherited tendencies. Do not assume the right hand is dominant — ask.
