Fistula in ano is an infective disease of anal canal usually caused by crypto glandular infection of anal crypts, there is an abnormal communication between two epithelial surfaces and the track is lined by unhealthy granulation tissue. It can be correlated with Bhagandara described in Ayurveda texts. It is considered as one of Astamahagada by Acharya Sushruta owing to its troublesome nature, The overall Prevalence of this disease is about 8.6 cases per 1,00,000 population per year and those in their third, fourth and fifth decades of life are most commonly affected [1].Fistulotomy and Fistulectomy are the procedures often adopted in contemporary science, which may require prolonged hospitalization, repeated infections and incontinence. In order to avoid these problems, there is a need for an alternative technique which can be achieved through Kshara sutra ligation method. There is a reference about Kshara sutra in the management of Nadivrana and the same treatment can be considered in Bhagandara. 30 paitients were selected from OPD and IPD of SDM College of Ayurveda and Hospital Udupi treated with Eranda karkati ksheera based chitraka ksharasutra and got significant results.
