ABSTRACT
Ayurveda and Yoga have long been a part of India's cultural legacy, and Uttarakhand, an Indian state at the foothills of the Himalayas, has made significant contributions to this living tradition. Several scholarly discussions during the epidemic revealed that the traditional practice was regained popularity among people as a preventative approach to boost immunity. The current study aims to research and document the change in lifestyle during the pandemic, as well as to examine, quantitatively, first, the health benefits obtained through Ayurveda and Yoga practice, as well as food habits; and second, the restoration of faith in the revival of traditional knowledge. The research design used for the study is the explorative sequential mixed research method. Data collected through in-depth interviews were analyzed using N Vivo 12 trial versions. An online survey was conducted among the target respondents and the quantitative analysis was performed using SPSS 12. The study validates the statistical model conceptualized for the present study.
