Thummi / Thivalai-kalam (right)
Right supraclavicular–suprasternal point — padu-varmam
Thummi-kalam, also recorded as Thivalai-kalam in variant naming, is placed at the lower neck above the suprasternal notch and adjacent supraclavicular field. The bilateral rendering is an editorial projection of a school description that gives a narrow upper-sternal landmark and does not establish a single universal supraclavicular coordinate.
