Background: Introduction of Rasashastra has opened new frontiers for Ayurvedic pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics. Kupipakva Kalpana (medicine prepared in glass bottle) is one among important drug preparatory methods. Though this method is complex and exhaustive, it has an important role in the field of treatment in this Nuclear era. Validity of this branch of science totally depends on the successful completion of the practical aspects. The present study was executed to establish a fingerprint for this unique formulation which can be used further for drug standardization. Objective: Preparation of Tamra Sindoora as per classical reference. Materials and methods: The Kajjali(fine black lustreless powder) of Tamra Sindoora in Kacha
Kupi (glass bottle) was processed with Kramagni tapa (graded heat pattern) in Bhatti (traditional furnace) for
36hrs. Observation & Results: Melting of Kajjali( Black lustreless mercurial compound) was observed at around 2600C, whereas the flame started at 5800C. Maximum temperature required for production was 6760C.
Final yield of 39% was observed in preparation of Tamra Sindoora. Conclusion: Tamra Sindoora is Sagandha, Bahirdhuma, Kantastha Kupipakwa Rasayana(Sublimated compound formed in glass bottle). It can be prepared in 36 hours following classical guidelines.
