Abstract : Ayurveda in its principle has given importance to individualistic approach rather than generalize. Application of this examination can be clearly seem like even though two patients suffering from same disease, the treatment modality may change depending upon the results of dashvidha pariksha. Prakruti and Pramana both used in dashvidha pariksha. Both determine the health of the individual and Bala (strength) of Rogi (Patient). Ayurveda followed swa-angula pramana as the unit of measurement for measuring the different parts of the body which is prime step in assessing patient before treatment. Sushrut and Charak had stated different Angula Pramana of each Pratyanga (body parts). Specificity is the characteristic property of Swa-angula Pramana. This can be applicable in present era for example artificial limbs. A scientific research includes collection, compilation, analysis and lastly scrutiny of entire findings to arrive at a conclusion. Study of Pramana and its relation with Prakruti was conducted in 150 volunteers using prakruti prakishan proforma (ayu software) with an objective of evaluation of Anguli Pramana in various prakriti. These volunteers were randomly divided into three groups of age 18-20yrs, 21-25yrs , 26-30yrs respectively. It was observed co-relating Pramana in each Prakruti and Granthokta Pramana that there is no vast difference in measurement of head, upper limb and lower limb. The observational study shows closer relation of features with classical texts. Keywords: Anguli Pramana, Prakruti, Swa-anguli pramana, Dashavidha Pariksha.
