Introduction: Knowledge of morphology of renal artery, branches and its variations is important in renal transplantation, renal trauma surgery, radiological imaging and surgical treatment of aortic aneurysms. Objectives: To expose the abdominal aorta and its branches. To describe the variations of renal artery and its branches. Materials and Methods: In the present study 30 cadavers were studied during routine dissection from Department of Anatomy, Government medical college, Datia. For Dissection followed the Cunningham’s manual volume–II. Results: Out of total 60 renal arteries observed the two variations. Right renal artery gives right testicular artery, another variation on left side abdominal aorta gave accessory renal artery. Conclusion: Knowledge of arterial supply of kidney is important to urologist, vascular surgeons, nephrologists and radiologist.
