Nardostachys jatamansi DC is an upright perennial plant with a long stout woody root stock that grows to a height of 10-60 cm in the Himalaya at elevations ranging from 3,500 to 5,000 metres. The goal of this study was to examine the rhizome of Nardostachys jatamansi from a morphological, histological, powder microscopic, and phytochemical standpoint. The goal of this research is to authenticate and identify this medicinal rhizome, as well as to help to the prevention of adulteration. Cork cells, medullary rays, vascular bundle, cortex, and pith were found on histological examination. Fibres, parenchyma, spiral vasculature, cork cells, tracheids, and starch grains were found in powder microscopic analysis. Physicochemical standards were used to determine the moisture content, ash values, and extractive values of Nardostachys jatamansi. Alkaloids, carbohydrates, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, fixed oil, and lipids were found in the phytochemical analysis, but gums, mucilage, proteins, and amino acids were not.
