contents <p><em><span lang="EN-GB">Rakta dhātu</span></em><span lang="EN-GB"> is one of the most important among the <em>sapta dhātus</em> described in Ayurveda responsible for the sustenance of life, nourishment of tissues, and maintenance of normal complexion. The proper functioning of <em>rakta dhātu</em> depends upon the integrity of <em>raktavaha srotas</em>, whose <em>mūlasthāna</em> are <em>yakrit</em> and <em>plīhā</em>. Any vitiation of <em>rakta dhātu</em> or obstruction of <em>raktavaha</em> <em>Srotas</em> leads to various pathological conditions collectively known as <em>raktapradoshaja vyādhis</em>, among which <em>kamala</em> is a prominent disorder. <em>kamala</em> is predominantly caused by <em>pitta doṣa</em> vitiation and is characterized by yellowish discoloration of skin, eyes, urine, and other systemic features. This conceptual study aims to elaborate the fundamental principles of <em>rakta dhātu</em> and <em>raktavaha Srotas</em> and to analyse their role in the etiopathogenesis of <em>kamala</em>. Classical Ayurvedic texts including Charaka saṁhitā, Suśruta saṁhitā, and Aṣṭāṅga hṛdaya were reviewed to understand the interrelationship between <em>rakta, pitta</em>, and <em>raktavaha Srotas</em> in the manifestaion of <em>kamala.</em></span></p>
