A concise and practical manual detailing the ancient Hindu system of hand-reading, which differs significantly from Western chiromancy. Dale focuses on the specific meanings of minor lines, signs, and symbols like the 'fish', 'conch', and 'trident' found on the palms according to traditional Indian authorities. Published by the Theosophical Society, the book aims to introduce Western students to the intricacies of Karmic destiny as revealed in the hands.
