Through one of the manager’s acquaintances, the request reached Shankaran Vaidyan, who was then practicing under Poomulli Mana in Palakkad — a renowned center for traditional Ayurvedic treatment. With permission from Poomulli Mana, Shankaran Vaidyan, along with his wife and brother, came to Pulpally in 1946. The Devaswom manager arranged the necessary facilities for him to begin his medical practice there. In the early days, the very house where Shankaran Vaidyan lived also functioned as the hospital.

At that time, there were no other hospitals in Pulpally. During the 1960s and 1970s, migration into Pulpally increased significantly, and as the population grew, medical camps and clinic extensions were established in other parts of the region. Later, two of Shankaran Vaidyan’s sons — Haridasan and Surendramohan (the present head of Aswini) — were sent to study Ayurveda at K.A. Samajam Ayurveda College, Shornur, in Palakkad.

After completing their studies, they returned to Pulpally and established a hospital offering inpatient Ayurvedic treatments.
