Rachana Sharir (Anatomy)

The Department of Anatomy offers comprehensive training in human dissection and provides an in-depth exploration of both classical Ayurvedic and modern anatomical concepts. Students are trained in the careful dissection of cadavers, enabling them to gain practical knowledge of the human body's structure.

The surgical tradition of Ayurveda, particularly as described in ancient texts like the Sushruta Samhita, pioneered unique techniques such as immersing cadavers in flowing water and gently scraping the skin with soft instruments to reveal underlying anatomical structures. These methods were instrumental in developing a precise understanding of the body's intricate details.

In addition to practical training, the department emphasizes the integration of traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with modern anatomical science, fostering a holistic approach to understanding human physiology. This foundational learning is essential for students pursuing careers in surgery, diagnosis, and clinical practice within the Ayurvedic system.
