Kashi or Varanasi is the oldest living city in the world, known to exist from the ancient Vedic era. It is the cultural & literary capital of India since time immemorial. The history of Medical Education in Varanasi is at least 2500 years old. It has produced great scholars of Ayurveda like Divodas Dhanwantri and Charaka.
