Pharmacognostical evaluation transverse section shows of seed, secretory cells, pericarp, mesocarp, epicarp, ideoblast cells and powder microscopy shows presence of lignin, mucilage, starch grains, suberin, preliminary phytochemical showed presence of carbohydrate, alkaloids, amino acids, saponin, glycosides, tannins of aqueous and ethanol extract. So, worked can be the considered as standard for future studies and helpful for quality, safety and efficacy control of vidanga. In practice, we use mainly puran vidang not navin. So, Our present study on puran Vidanga.
