Palmistry in India has a history going back at least 4000 thousand years. It has been accepted as an art and scientific activity all over the world. The lines of your hand including the shape and texture indicate your longevity, health, major characteristics and major changes in your life. A person’s character and fate are also studied carefully from the minor lines.          
                                      
Signs on a hand play an important part in Indian palmistry. It has been stated that 23 different signs are discussed from a palm, which is also part of the traditional European system.

E.g:
1) Fish: wealth, prosperity and a comfortable life.
2) Trident: A fortunate sign denoting wealth and fame.
3) Tree: An indicator of success, especially if the branches shoot up.
