Abstract

The concept of Kala is one of the unique and unexplained in the Ayurveda. This concept is explained by Aacharya Sushrut in Sharirasthan of Sushrut Samhita. There are seven Kalas are present inside the body situated below the skin. Kalas are covering between the Dhatu and Aashay. They can be recoquecnized by their structures and functions in the body. Kalas are one of the essential part of Dhatu. The specific Kalas are situated at specific site in the body. We can correlate the Kala with formative elements or cells. For better understanding of concept of Kala we need to study the Ayurvedic samhitas to conclude the shloka’s in proper way to clear knowledge.
