Abstract Nasal drug delivery is important in Ayurveda as it provides rapid action and direct access to the Urdhva Jatrugata region. Kalingadi Arka is a classical formulation indicated in the management of Nasa rogas due to its Katu tikta rasa, Ushna virya and Kapha-Vata shamaka properties. In the present era, there is a need to modify classical medicines into patient-friendly, hygienic and accurately dosed forms without affecting their therapeutic integrity, and standardization is essential to ensure quality, safety and reproducibility. Hence, the present study aimed to prepare Kalingadi Arka as a nasal spray and evaluate its analytical parameters. The formulation was prepared by Arka kalpana and assessed for organoleptic characters, physicochemical properties and HPTLC profiling. The nasal spray was clear, colorless and pleasant in odor, with pH 6.54 and low viscosity indicating suitability for intranasal use. HPTLC showed reproducible bands at Rf values around 0.67, 0.68 and 0.87, suggesting the presence of bioactive constituents such as flavonoids, terpenoids and volatile oils. The study highlights that modification of classical Kalingadi Avapeedana into a standardized nasal spray enhances its safety, convenience, acceptability and therapeutic applicability in the management of Nasa rogas.
