Answer:
There is a contradiction as to who is the Father of Ayurveda?
As per ancient scriptures of Hinduism - Vedas and the Puranas, it was Sri Dhanvantari, the primordial God (Avatar) who developed the system. He is considered as a human manifestation of Vishnu, Physician of the Gods and also the God of Medicine.
Some others claim it to be Sage Agnivesha’s innovation. Aginivesha wrote all his study in the form of an ancient script, known as Agnivesa Samhita presumably in BC 1000.
Charaka, an Ayurveda Physician during BC 300 added his own easy-to-understand compilation of Agnivesa Samhita. He re-named it as Charaka Samhita. Because of his efforts, he is sometimes referred to as the Father of Indian Medicine.
