How do I know if a parvat is full?

Press gently below each finger and at the thumb base. Compare how padded and firm it feels with the rest of your palm.

Are the parvats linked to my kundli?

They share the same grahas. Our palm reading can set each parvat beside the same graha in the kundli you saved on your phone, purely for reflection.

Mounts of the Palm (Parvat): Guru, Shani, Shukra and More

The parvats (mounts) of the palm

The parvats are the soft pads of the palm, each named after a graha: Guru under the index finger, Shani under the middle, Surya under the ring, Budh under the little finger, Shukra at the thumb base, Chandra on the outer palm and Mangal between them. A full parvat is read as a strong quality, a flat one as a quieter one.
