If lines represent the electrical wiring of the hand, the planetary mounts (Parvatas) represent the battery reservoirs. Positioned beneath each finger and across the palm margins, these muscular and adipose cushions store specific cosmic and psychological energies. A well-developed, centered mount indicates vibrant expression of that planetary archetype, while an underdeveloped or displaced mount points to latent talents requiring conscious development.
