Yes. In Paryushan, pumpkins (a non-root, non-leafy vegetable) are generally allowed in Jain practice. The key idea is to keep the diet very simple, non-violent, and free from root vegetables and leafy greens, and to follow the vow you have taken and your local sangh’s guidance. Differences between Shvetambar and Digambar traditions mainly affect rules like leafy greens and strictness of fasting, but pumpkin is typically permitted in both traditions as part of a minimal, sattvik menu. Always follow your guru or local sangh if they have a stricter rule.
