Rachna sharir is basic concept of Ayurveda and Acharya Sushrut was the first surgeon who discovered the method of preservation of body for dissection. Description of various internal structures which are limited externally by skin can be available for practical demonstrations only by dissection. An expert surgeon who wants to have a detailed knowledge of the sharira should preserve and dissect the body. The subject studied in literature, should be experienced in Practical. These two methods are complimentary to each other and enhance the entire knowledge. Sharir is defined as Shiryate tat shariram . Meaning a Sharir is a physiological entity where continuous process of degeneration is carried out itself . A sharir cant be preserved and available after death. But embalming made the sharir available to dissect after death.
