Further, Plant extracts and Standard drug Ethinyl estradiol (1&amp;micro;g/kg) combination were tested for synergistic estrogenic activity.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;In-vivo&lt;/em&gt; investigation revealed that ethanol extract at dose of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg shows significance increase 325.23&amp;plusmn;5.23, 328.84&amp;plusmn;4.56 and 3.252&amp;plusmn;0.47, 3.288&amp;plusmn;0.27 in uterine wet weight and uterine weight ratio respectively in female albino rat as compared to control and petroleum ether and water extracts. Simultaneous administration of standard drug Ethinyl estradiol (1&amp;micro;g/kg) with ethanol extract at dose of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/ kg potentiates (327.36 &amp;plusmn; 5.78, 330.95 &amp;plusmn; 6.21 and 3.273 &amp;plusmn; 0.64, 3.309 &amp;plusmn; 0.49 uterine wet weight and uterine weight ratio respectively in female albino rat) the estrogenic activity as compared to individual administration of ethanol extract as a synergistic effect. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It was observed that ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;Bauhinia racemosa&lt;/em&gt; produced significance estrogenic activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bauhinia racemosa&lt;/em&gt;, estrogenic activity, Ethinyl estradiol, ovariectomy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gautam P.
