This sacrifice is considered like animal sacrifice
In Tantra-mantra, the sacrifice of the pumpkin is considered to be the same as the animal sacrifice. It is also said that pumpkin is similar to the elder son of the house. In ancient times, scholars started such a new system to prevent male sacrifice in which the bali of brown pumpkin started to be given to the goddess. This tradition continues even today. During the days of Navratri, you must have seen brown pumpkin cut on the Devi temple and intersections. These are the form of sacrifice.
That’s why women do not bite pumpkin
There is also a belief in Hinduism that women never bite the entire pumpkin.
