वेदी · Vedī
Also called: altar · sacrificial platform · yajña-vedī
Where on the hand: Palm surface.
What it looks like: A square or rectangle with its two vertical sides narrowing toward the middle — the classic waisted altar profile — or a plain rectangle standing on a wider base-line, sometimes with a short flame-stroke rising from the centre.
The Garuḍa Purāṇa is precise: the sacrificial altar appears on those who perform the Agnihotra. A performer of Vedic rites; ritual authority. In later Hindi lists it also carries business profit. Bṛhat Saṃhitā 70 includes vedī among the queen-making marks.
Read with care: Very rare; effectively a text-tradition mark rather than something working palmists report finding.
