Our hands have five fingers each including thumbs. We have total 10 fingers.
All of them vary in length and also in the diameter, and without doubt, they all have different purposes to perform in our daily routine.
Traditionally, they are used for some particular rituals and practices and that’s why some names are ascribed to them from that angle.
We are providing the Hindi names of fingers from English along with the transliteration so that people who don’t understand the Devnagiri script could also understand these names.
If you would like to ask anything regarding the pronunciation of these names, you may write to us through the comment section.
