Abstract	This article is centered on ayurvedic doctors in ayurvedic centers at Delhi and Bengaluru. It has looked into the details of their personal backgrounds, medical education, clinical practice, diagnostic and treatment methods. It also elicits the doctor’s perceptions about Ayurveda emerging as holistic health care option, how they work in ayurvedic centers by challenging biomedical hegemony, their levels of interaction with patients, how they perceive the present form of Ayurveda both within and outside institutions, how they perceive illness situations and to what extent they negotiate with their roles in these centers. To conclude, the doctors practicing at Arya Vaidya Sala follow a more rigorous authentic traditional practice of Ayurveda via-a-vis doctors at Sri Sri Ayurveda Hospital who take on a more flexible, modernised version of ayurvedic treatment.
