Abstract
Ayurveda is a science based on a range of Samhitas. In the various Ayurvedic literatures, Acharyas explain the Rachana Sharir (Anatomy) of human beings and they described many structures which have both structural as well as clinical importance. But due to different visions of various Acharyas, some controversies have been created in the present era. Because of these controversies we are unable to properly understand as well as explain to those anatomical structures. Among those controversial parts Sira, Dhamani and Srotas are one of the most important aspects which should be disclosed properly. Ayurvedic texts have brief descriptions of anatomical structures. Sira, Dhamani and Srotas are considered as structures which are generally related to transportation. But in Charaka samhita, Sira and Dhamani are considered as a synonym of Srotas(1). Hence some confusion may be created for researchers. This paper is an attempt to dispel the concept regarding Sira, Dhamani and Srotas.
