In Ayurveda Nadi Pariksha is an ancient ayurvedic diagnostic tool and it is very important to have a accurate diagnosis before treating the patient's disease. To know the Nadi Paiksha it is important to understand Nadi Vigyan. In Ayurvedic texts there are different type of Rog Rogi Pariksha i.e., Trividha Pariksha, Shadvidha Pariksha, Ashtavidha Pariksha, Dashavidha Pariksha etc. Concept of Nadi Pariksha is found under the Ashatavidhya Pariksha described by Yogratnakar. Yogratnakara described Nadi Pariksha under heading of Rog Pariksha. The presence of pulse at the Angushthamula is evidence of life. Nadi Pariksha is done to analyse and estimate the quantity of Tridosha in the body. Tridosha, i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha are considered as the fundamental. The examinations of Nadi Pariksha (Pulse examination) are evidence of many diseases including cardio-vascular system, G.I.T. diseases (Udar Roga) and Manas Roga as described in Ayurvedic literature But in modern medical science pulse examination is only limited to C.V.S examination. They were popular diagnostic tools in the past but nowadays they are not specifically used, so there is need to re-establish their results so that they can be used in future. The present paper describes the variations of Nadi in Udar Roga.
