Happy Diwali (5 Nov) and Happy Dhanvantari Day (3rd November) Lord Dhavantari are considered as the physician of the gods, and the god of Ayurvedic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda> medicine according to Ancient Indian beliefs. Lord Dhanvantari was the first person to work on Medicinal Plants. In an area near to our village there is a wasteland called as Dhanvantari Ka Jungle and Little Temple of Lord Dhanwantari. I have seen many Vaidyas wondering in that area in search of medicinal plant.
