Abstract Rachana Shareera, the Ayurvedic science of anatomy, forms the foundational basis for understanding the structural and functional organization of the human body in Ayurveda. Unlike modern anatomy, it encompasses not only gross anatomical structures but also integrates philosophical constructs such as Dhatu, Srotas, and Marma. The effective teaching of this subject is therefore essential for developing clinical competence among Ayurveda students. Over time, teaching methodologies in Rachana Shareera have evolved from traditional guru–shishya-based experiential learning to the incorporation of modern pedagogical tools, including audiovisual aids, simulation-based learning, and digital platforms. The present review aims to critically analyze the spectrum of teaching methodologies employed in Rachana Shareera and to propose an integrative, competency-based educational model. The analysis reveals that while traditional approaches provide depth and contextual understanding, modern methods significantly enhance visualization, engagement, and retention. However, challenges such as conceptual complexity, lack of standardization, and inadequate integration between classical and contemporary frameworks persist. The study concludes that a hybrid pedagogical approach, grounded in Ayurvedic epistemology and supported by modern educational innovations, is essential to improve learning outcomes and clinical applicability.
