Karnataka has previously hosted this national observance. The 7th National Naturopathy Day was celebrated on November 18, 2024, at CRIYN, Nagamangala, under the aegis of CCRYN, Ministry of Ayush. The celebration was organised alongside an International Conference on Naturopathy held on November 18–19, 2024, bringing together more than 800 doctors, researchers, and undergraduate and postgraduate scholars from across India. The event featured academic discussions, expert sessions, research presentations, and initiatives highlighting the role of naturopathy in healthy ageing and longevity.
The following year, the 8th National Naturopathy Day was celebrated in November 2025 at Nisarg Gram, National Institute of Naturopathy, Yewalewadi, Pune, Maharashtra, with the four-day Ni-Sar-Gam – Healing & Wellness Festival organised by NIN.
With the 9th edition returning to CRIYN, Nagamangala, Karnataka, the 2026 national celebration marks another important occasion for the state and the naturopathy community. It will bring renewed attention to the contributions of research institutions, academic organisations, practitioners, and students in advancing naturopathy in India.
