There’s something magical about the arrival of mangoes in Indian markets—the sweet scent, the bright colours, and the promise of summer in every bite. Among them, the Raspuri mango stands tall as a beloved treasure of Karnataka. Known for its rich flavour, juicy pulp, and velvety texture, this mango is more than just a fruit—it’s a celebration of the season. In fact, in Bengaluru and beyond, its arrival signals that summer has officially begun.

But what makes the Raspuri so special? And why does it thrive so beautifully in Karnataka?

The answer lies in the region’s warm climate, fertile soil, and abundant sunshine. Karnataka’s diverse geography—from the Deccan Plateau to its coastal stretches—provides the ideal environment for mango cultivation. The Raspuri mango flourishes in well-drained soil and needs just the right balance of heat and moisture to grow into the luscious fruit people eagerly wait for each year.

And the best part? With a bit of care and patience, you can grow this
