Question, I have a wondering about a specific mudra that i have seen used. It is exactly like the shukatunda mudra, but the index finger is unbent. Is this an existing mudra and if so whaat are it’s relations?
I know this is a very random question, but I have been trying to find an answer for some time. If you can help, thank you.
I believe you have in mind a tripataka mudra.
