Science always believes on principles and facts that are methodically attested and un-deniably accepted. In Ayurveda Deha Prakruti has important role in fulfilling the basic requirement for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of various ailments, hence Prakruti is considered one among the Dasavidha Pareeksha and it is inherent from birth to death and is determined by status of Doshas from the time of conception. Similarly Dermatoglyphics is the study of epidermal Ridge-land enough evidence shows that the characteristics of Dermatoglyphics are also inherited. From the study point of view and diagnostic aspects of diseases which have the origin in early foetal life, may result in deviation in Dermatoglyphic pattern. So it will be relevant to know the basic concept of Prakruti in relation with Dermatoglyphics. The knowledge of both Dermatoglyphics as well as Prakruti is having a prime importance in day today practice to assess the physical, mental built and for prognosis of diseases in individuals. Here, we have chosen such an interesting study to understand the relation between Dermatoglyphics and different Dwidoshaja Prakruti. The study was conducted on 20 subjects of Dwidoshaja Prakruti. The palmar imprint were obtained by the modified Coterman’s technique. Imprints were analysed by using proper statistical tools. The study satisfied the relation of features ofPrakruti with classical texts. Prakruti and Dermatoglyphics can be considered under genetic control. The frequency of whorls and arches are more in Vatapittaja Prakruti, arches and loops in Pittakaphaja Prakruti, that of whorls and loops in Vatakaphaja Prakruti.
