The present paper attempts to bring forward a comparative dermatoglyphic study based upon finger and palm print analysis of females among Hindu and Muslim communities. It is based on unisexual sample collected from urban areas of district Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The subject matter of comparison includes palm and finger prints which are analytically compared in both groups. Main Line Index, Patterns on Inter digital areas, Angle atd, Axial Tri-radii, Indices (IPI, DI, FI) and Finger ball patterns etc. are elaborately dealt with in the present paper. In the study, no significant variations are found between both the selected sample populations in terms of palmar and finger dermatoglyphic features except in few noticeable areas.
