Lord Dhanvantari is revered in Hindu mythology as the divine physician and an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is often depicted holding a pot of Amrita, the nectar of immortality, which he procured during the churning of the Milky Sea (Samudra Manthan).

According to the Puranas, when the Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons) were churning the ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, Lord Dhanvantari emerged with the pot of Amrita, symbolizing the boon of health and vitality for the cosmos.

Dhanvantari is closely associated with Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. He is considered the father of this healing tradition, which aims to maintain a balance between the body, mind, and spirit.

Many stories in Hindu mythology highlight Lord Dhanvantari's role as a healer. One such story is of his intervention to cure the Devas of the ailments caused by the consumption of the poison during the churning of the ocean.
