As per best of our knowledge there were no pharmacognostical reports, specifically to determine anatomical and other physicochemical standards required for its standardization. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study various standardization parameters like macroscopic and microscopic studies, physico-chemical constants, extractive values and preliminary phytochemical screening were studied and reported. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Different standardization parameters were reported, which would be of immense use to identify and establish the authenticity of the plant. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Preliminary pharmacognostic evaluation of &lt;em&gt;Lagenaria siceraria&lt;/em&gt; fruits can give some useful information, which will be further used for standardization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Pharmacognostic, Bhopla, Cucurbitaceae, standardization, Lagenaria siceraria.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C.V.
