The nine mounts of the hand carry the nine names already in your chart — Guru, Śani, Sūrya, Budha, Śukra, Chandra, Maṅgala, Rāhu and Ketu. That is not a coincidence anyone invented for an app; it is how the tradition organised the hand. So this is the same system as your kundli, read off a different surface.
What this page does with an image of your hand
Nothing, because it never has one. There is no upload, no capture and no scan. The optional camera below is a mirror — a live preview you use to see your own palm more clearly while you trace it with your finger. No frame is ever recorded, copied to a canvas, encoded, stored or transmitted.
What exists afterwards is the handful of coordinates you drew, held in this browser tab until you close it. Nothing is sent to a server. Nothing is kept. There is no account required and no analytics event carries any of it.
You can do the whole thing without ever turning the camera on — the hand diagram below works on its own, and it is the primary way in.
Optional: use the camera as a mirror
Easier than propping your phone up. Turn it on, hold your palm in the frame, and trace a line with a fingertip on the glass. We read the shape you drew and pre-fill the questions below — every one of which you can then change, because you are the one looking at the hand.
Your hand
A right palm, facing you. Tap a line or a numbered mount to jump to its question — everything you answer lights up here. The numbers are the nine grahas in the order the cards below name them.
The lines
Six lines, each with three things: what it is, what it is not, and where that comes from. The middle one is doing most of the work — nearly everything people believe about palms is something a line does not do.
The mounts
Nine pads on the hand, one per graha, in the same colours your chart uses. Press the flesh at each spot with a thumb: raised means firm and full, flat means it gives easily. A mount is padding and tone, and it changes with the work your hands do. It is not fixed at birth, so nothing read from it is a fate.
What that reads as
Answer anything above and the reading assembles here. It is built in this browser from what you told us — nothing was computed on a server, and nothing on this page calls a model.
Where this comes from
Palmistry sits inside Samudrika Shastra, the reading of bodily marks — which covers the face and the skull as well as the hand. The treatises devoted to it are medieval and later: Samudrika-tilaka is commonly dated to the twelfth century, Samudrika-chintamani to around 1700, and Hastamuktavali is the one specifically about the hand. Earlier material on bodily marks sits in the Puranas.
We cite at that level and no further. Chapter-and-verse citation would need a Sanskritist, and no Sanskritist has looked at this page. The dates above are the ones commonly given; we have not verified them against the manuscripts.
If you have seen this described as Vedic, look at those dates again. The astronomy Ganit computes elsewhere genuinely is ancient — the ayanamsa, the tithi, the nakshatra. This is not the same claim, and running them together would be the easiest lie on the site to tell.
What this page will not do
The same boundaries as the rest of Ganit, and one of them is the reason the life line is written the way it is.
It will not tell you how long you will live. No line on the hand does that, and we do not answer questions about the timing of death anywhere in this product. The classical texts decline those questions too, so this is an old prohibition and a modern one agreeing.
It will not diagnose anything. A mark on a hand is not a medical finding. If something about your hands has changed and you are worried, that is a question for a doctor and not for a palm.
It will not read someone else's hand for you. We will read your hand. We will not read a person who is not here to be asked.
It will not count your marriages, your children or your money. Those claims are the ones with no classical source, and where there is nothing to cite we cite nothing.
Hasta rekha is a reading tradition, not a measurement. Ganit computes the panchang and the kundli from ephemeris data and shows its working; it cannot do that here, because there is no arithmetic underneath a palm. What this page can do honestly is tell you what the tradition says, tell you what it does not say, and never pretend the difference does not exist.
