Dhavantari é o deus hindu da medicina, aparecendo nos Puranas como deus patrono da Ayurveda. Segundo a tradição, Dhanvantari emergiu do Oceano de Leite e apareceu com o pote de amrita (Elixir da Imortalidade) enquanto o oceano estava sendo agitado pelos Devas e Asuras, que usavam a montanha Mandara e a serpente para realizá-lo. Quando os Asuras viram o que tinha acontecido, correram e tomaram o pote das mãos de Dhanvantari. Lorde Vishnu que acompanhava tudo, resolveu ajudar os Devas. Ele se disfarçou de , e enganou os Asuras se oferecendo para servi-lhes o néctar, mas ao invés disso lhes serviu veneno e deu o amrita aos Devas que derrotaram os Asuras. Acredita-se também que Dhanvantari promulgou a prática do Ayurveda. De menção especial aqui é o tratado de Dhanvantari-Nighantu, que elucida completamente as plantas medicinais de Dhanvantari.
