Palm leaf reading, also known as Nadi reading, is a traditional form of divination in India that is said to have been invented by the sage Agastya.
Nadi reading is mainly performed in a specific region called Tamil Nadu and involves interpreting the ancient Tamil language inscribed on palm leaves to reveal an individual's predetermined destiny and life purpose. Nadi means "sound, voice, or resonance" in ancient Tamil, and Nadi reading is based on interpreting these sounds to decipher one's destiny and life purpose.
The prophecies written on palm leaves date back thousands of years and are written in ancient Tamil.
Palm leaf (Nadi leaf) reading requires a special training to decipher the ancient Tamil language.
One must visit a Nadi reader, a type of holy priest who has spent many years studying and interpreting ancient Tamil, to determine if their leaf exists.
After performing a specific ritual, the Nadi reader searches for the individual's leaf and then reads aloud the prophecy written on it. Nadi reading is distinct from typical astrology or tarot card readings because it is based on interpreting ancient Tamil manuscripts.
The reader reads the written text and interprets the information about the person's birth constellation, planetary alignment, family information, health, career, marriage, children, future success, and future predictions that are inscribed on the palm leaves.

Additionally, palm leaf reading includes methods to change one's destiny or provide solutions to problems, making it useful for individuals seeking guidance in life or direction.
