Ayurveda Day will be observed on a fixed date i.e. on 23 September – every year, as notified by the Government of India through a Gazette Notification issued in March 2025. Earlier, Ayurveda Day was celebrated on Dhanvantari Jayanti (Dhanteras).
The decision to assign a fixed date marks a historic shift, giving Ayurveda a universal calendar identity and enabling greater participation at the global level.
The theme of this year is “Ayurveda for People and Planet.”
The Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Ayush Prataprao Jadhav, said, “Ayurveda is not just a healthcare system, it is a science of life rooted in the principle of harmony between the individual and the environment. By designating 23 September as Ayurveda Day, India has given Ayurveda a global calendar identity.”
The Secretary, Ministry of Ayush, Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, stated,“Since its inception in 2016, Ayurveda Day has emerged as a global movement celebrating India’s traditional knowledge.
