Ahara (dietary habits) and Vihar (lifestyle) play pivot role in health or manifestation of various diseases. Erroneous dietary habits and lifestyle produce disturbance in equilibrium of Doshas which further lead to manifestation of various diseases. Pandu Roga is a disease entity described in Ayurvedic texts, which is characterized by the pallor complexion of the skin of the diseased person. This article is based on the Etiopathogenesis of Pandu Roga as described in various Ayurvedic literatures. Pandu Roga shows great resemblance to the clinical picture of Anaemia. In Ayurveda, Roga and Rogi Pariksha are the key factors for making diagnosis and selection of the treatment. Understanding of Etiopathogenesis and classification of Pandu Roga plays an important role in effective management of the disease.
