A Handbook on Bhagandra

This book provides a detailed exploration of the anatomical and physiological aspects of Guda (the anorectal region) as described in Ayurvedic texts, offering insights into its relevance in both ancient and modern medicine. The work brings together fragmented references from classical sources like Charaka, Sushruta, and Vagbhata to form a comprehensive understanding of Guda's structure, function, and relation to other organs in the body. It covers embryological development, anatomical location, internal structures, vascular relations, and the concept of Guda as a Marma (vital point), Srotas (channels), and Pranayatana (life-supporting structures).
