Vidhura (bilateral behind-ear points)

Paired retro-auricular marma; representative right anchor

Vidhura is the paired point behind the ear, represented here by the anatomical-right retro-auricular landmark on a front silhouette. Its canonical prognosis is not uniform across later summaries, so the combat grouping flags it as an immediate-danger warning without pretending that the grouping replaces the source classification.

Suśruta-saṃhitā, Śārīrasthāna 6 (primary_canonical)

Śārīrasthāna 6.6–8 (Acharya ed.) lists Vidhura as a paired head marma in the snāyu class; later prognosis summaries differ in wording, so this diagram preserves the source name without asserting a single later classification.
