Where on the hand: Distributed over the body; the hand-specific ones concern the nails, the fingers and the palm surface.
What it looks like: Coppery nails, rounded fingers, unwrinkled palms, and palms marked with śrīvatsa, svastika, nandyāvarta, lotus, fish, vase and conch figures.
Alongside the 32 major marks stand the 80 minor marks (anuvyañjana), several of which are hand-specific. The list of figures said to appear on the palms of a Great Being is effectively a compact version of the shubh chinha catalogue itself.
