Where on the hand: Palm surface; the classical formula places power (śakti), spear (tomara), arrow, chariot-wheel or flag in the centre of the palm, on Rahu Parvat.
What it looks like: A small box or trapezoid (the car) resting on one or two circles (wheels), with a shaft-line projecting forward from its lower front corner. Where only the wheel is present, a circle with radiating internal spokes.
'Found on kings.' All comforts of life; a large family; ownership of vehicles; luxurious living comparable to royalty, with the benefit extending to the spouse. In the centre of the palm the chariot-wheel specifically grants the authority to rule and to reap its benefits.
