Having moles on the human body is completely normal. Some people are born with them, while others may develop them later in life. Ancient Samudra Shastra texts suggest that the location, color, and shape of moles on the body can provide insights into a person’s luck, character, and future.

According to Indian scholars after extensive research, moles on the right side of a man’s body and the left side of a woman’s body are considered auspicious. Having more than 12 moles is deemed inauspicious, while fewer than 12 is considered favorable.

Here’s what the ancient texts say about moles on different parts of the body:
