Ayurvedic medicines have a long therapeutic history and are still serving many of the health needs of a large population of the world. However, the quality control and quality assurance still remains a challenge because of the high variability of chemical components in-volved.Ayurvedic drugs are combination of herbal,minerals,herbo-mineral and animal prod-ucts.In this study Rajahpravartini vati subjected to organoleptic analysis,Physical tests,chemical tests, qualitative analysis to detect the presence of various functional groups, and to high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) examination by optimizing the solvent systems and Quality control standards/tests for tablets. The results revealed Tablets were within the prescribed limit of deviation, Friability of Compressed tablets was 0.81%,Disintegration time-16min,13sec,Hardness-1.0kg/cm,Diameter-10.2mm,Total bacte-rial count in RPV was within permissible limit and free from fungal contaminations was found. In phytochemicals Carbohydartes,Anthraquinone glycosides,Tannins,Resin etc were present and spots at 366 nm were found.
