International Mango Festival

[...] It is an informal and international platform with a two-fold approach, to promote tourism as well as mango export.

Among these are alphonso, mallika, amrapali, himsagar, malda, balia, chorasya, dhaman, dhoon, fazia, gelchia, nigarin kheria, ruchika and shamasi.

In describing International Mango Festival, a reporter for the BBC said: Some visitors found the culinary preparations - unusual in a country where the fruit is primarily eaten uncooked - interesting.

Hindu mythology in India gives the mango an aura of mystique as a symbol of the joy of life.
