Dhanvantari
Hindu · deity · satya yuga · deity
He is the patron deity of Ayurveda and the figure a great deal of Indian medical practice is addressed to, which makes him one of the most consequential absences in the corpus's Hindu holdings after the Navagraha. The pot is not recorded in materialCulture, because the treatment gives it as the thing he emerges holding rather than as an attribute, and an items pass would do it better.
