Entitled "Dhanvantari, God of Ayurvedic medicine. Sanskrit 172, 1907." Dhanvantari is an avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism. He appears in the Vedas and Puranas as the physician of the gods (devas), and the god of Ayurveda. It is common practice in Hinduism for worshipers to pray to Dhanvantari seeking his blessings for sound health for themselves and/or others, especially on Dhanteras. Ayurveda is a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. The main classical Ayurveda treatises begin with legendary accounts of the transmission of medical knowledge from the Gods to sages, and thence to human physicians. Ayurveda therapies have varied and evolved over more than two millennia. Some scholars assert that Ayurveda originated in prehistoric times,and that some of the concepts of Ayurveda have been discovered since the times of Indus Valley Civilization and earlier.
