Gujarat Kesar Mango
Kesar mangoes of Gujarat are famous in the world. This is a much awaited fruit during summer.
Origin of Gir Kesar mangoes – Kesar mangoes originated in Junagadh, a quintessential and busy town near the coast of Gujarat. The first cultivar of this mango was grown by Junagadh Wazir Sale Bhai in 1931 in Vanthali.
Thereafter, around 75 grafts of this variety were grown at the foothills of mountain Girnar located at the Junagadh Laal Dori farm.
How did Kesar mango get its name?
In 1934, the Nawab of Junagadh Muhammad Mahabat Khan III remarked while looking at the beautiful orange flesh of the mango fruit, “This is Kesar.” Kesar in Hindi and Gujarati means “saffron.”
Kesar mango has received the GI tag
Giving GI (Geographical Indication) tag to Gir Kesar mangoes was first proposed by Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation Ltd. (GAIC). Later, in 2010, the Junagadh Agricultural University filed an application for the same.
