Abstract
The Nabhi is the site of Prana, also Moolasthana of Sira. The Nabhi Marma is located between the Pakvashaya and Amashaya of the body (Udara Marma), Sira Marma. Injury to Nabhi Marma can cause immediate death or death within seven days (Sadhyahara Pranahara). Measurement of Nabhi Marma is about 4 Angula Pramana. It is also a surface landmark of the anterior abdominal wall. The exact location & structure of Nabhi Marma is not mentioned in the classics; scattered references are available in classical texts of Ayurveda about Nabhi, which does not make a proper interpretation. So, there is a need to properly review & observation to assess the possible location & structure of Nabhi Marma.
