The science of Marma (vital point), i.e., Marma Vijyaniyam is an extraordinary and dynamic part mentioned in  classical texts of Ayurveda that has tremendous value while performing surgery. Marma is such an imperative  and unique principle of Ayurveda. Trimarma is the basic organs of the body representing the three different  systems – nervous, cardiovascular, and urinary system. Trimarma is gaining importance as “tripod of life” because  they are more Sadyopranahara Marma than other Marma. Sirah Marma is considered first because trauma to the  head causes disturbance in respiratory, circulatory, and temperature-regulating center in the brain area and may lead  to unconsciousness and death. Charak stated that Prana is situated in Siras which is also called Uttamangam due  to its control over all the Indriya (Sense). In this article, an effort is made to compile and analyze the fundamental  concept of Trimarma.
