        abstract = {Nidana Panchaka is a fundamental diagnostic tool in Ayurveda, playing a crucial role in identifying diseases, understanding their causes, and predicting their prognosis. It consists of five essential components: Nidana, Purvaroopa, Roopa, Upashaya and Samprapti.
The diagnosis of a disease in Ayurveda is closely linked to the Vriddhi and Kshaya of the three Doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha which are considered responsible for the onset of any disease. These imbalances arise due to various Nidana, primarily related to one’s Ahara and Vihara, Manasika Bhava.Accurate diagnosis is a prerequisite for effective treatment. While there are several diagnostic methods in Ayurveda, such as Ashtavidha Pareeksha, Dashavidha Pareeksha, and Chaturvidha Pareeksha (fourfold examination), this article specifically highlights the significance of Nidana Panchaka in the process of diagnosis of any disease.},
