Here’s the story of a couple who’s striving to keep rich tradition of ayurveda alive.
The quiet location of P S Venkatarama Daitota’s cozy abode among the lush greenery of the remotely located Panaje of Puttur taluk in Dakshina Kannada district betrays the popularity of this Ayurvedic practitioner who is also a highly regarded expert in medicinal plants.
A descendant of the illustrious ‘Panaje Vaidya’ family, Venkatarama is the living link between this family’s priceless tradition of healing through herbs, and the modern world that is fast forgetting this wonderful knowledge. A deep knowledge of Ayurveda and herbs that has been passed on to him from his ancestors, and a profound understanding of the modern health issues that is based on experience and research, have equipped Venkatarama with a ‘healing touch’ that has saved thousands of lives in the past 30 years.
