शुक्र मेखला · Shukra Mekhala
Also called: Girdle of Venus · Cingulum Veneris
Where on the hand: The upper palm below the fingers — the same arc described as the Girdle of Venus, running from the web between index and middle fingers across the Saturn and Apollo mounts to the web between ring and little fingers.
What it looks like: An arc encircling the whole upper palm rather than the base of any single finger, which is why it is classed as a girdle and not a ring.
Listed among the rings under this name, but treated separately: it is technically a ring around the upper palm rather than around a single finger, and so is read as a Girdle rather than as a Ring. Its full interpretation belongs to the Girdle of Venus entry.
