Langda Aam of BanaRas and Patna

Langra Aam is a very tasty and sweet mango also known the LANGDA AAM of Banaras Region of UP & Western Bihar ,In Villages one has to be at duty to collect the fallen mangoes and save them from birds and crows..... And kids makes places to climb on this mango trees also some cough kind of bricks to sit there to enjoy the cool wind and beauty of nature.
It has originated as a superior chance seedling near Benares, Uttar Pradesh, India. Mainly langra produces in eastern UP (India) in Banaras , Purvanchal and Patna.The taste of langra varies by places, but Patna langra is believed to be the best of all. Size medium to large, ovate, base round to slightly flatten, shoulders equal. Beak minute but distinct, sinus slight to absence, skin green and thin, flesh fibreless, yellowish brown in color, scented, highly melting, very sweet and very juicy and very tangy. Stone very small, flattened, oval. Weight of an average fruit is about ¼ kg. Fruit quality very good, bearing heavy. Season (Early to mid Season). 1st to 3rd week of July. Heavy yielder. The overall fruit quality is so good that people of eastern states of India believe it to beats other mangoes of the world . Because this fruit is not found in abundance, it has not been marketed much internationally. In Bangladesh, it grows in plenty in the districts of Rajshahi and Nawabganj neighbouring Malda.
In Pakistan, it grows in the district of Multan, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Dera Ghazi Khan and Mirpurkhas, Sindh.

Aam ki itani mithaas to shayad hi duniya meinn kahi aur mile jo is Banarasi Langda
Aam ke mangoes mein hai. Remembering my childhood days I am feeling nostalgic ,how all my cousins and me used to sit and waited there for KOO(n)PAR to fell down and we grab them ha ha Really very sweet experience I have !We also used to climb upon the tree upto some height .And the pump nearby which mainly for irrigation but was the second bath place in summer for all of (badmaash bache log) where we kept on bathing until it be shutdown by any of elders and we got scolded . It used to be real fun bathing at the machine pumps used for irrigating fields , and at times in the nehar or pokhraas near villages to learn swimming and stuff.
There is a famous bhojpuri song on Langda Aam with the lyrics " Balaji Langda AAm chusave Raat ke Barah baje " made just for mauj, mastee or Ras for rural people of Eastern UP , Bihar , which is termed as "benarasi masti" .
There is high demand for Landa Aam and many food items made of langda aam like murrabba , achar by UP Agro n food processing industry etc in international market in Gulf countries , Africa ,Europe and Americas.

Negative Points :-
There is high level of competition for export business of Langda Aam In bihar and UP ,hence sellers and farmers use all tricks in trade to sell their produce like adulteration and using goons , crooks and Mafias to suppress competitions in national and international market of Langda Mangoes. So one has to be be careful these days
