I am a prestigious heritage variety known for my delicate thin skin, small seed, and a high pulp-to-stone ratio that makes me one of the most satisfying mangoes to eat.

I am famously grown in the Digha region of Patna, Bihar, India, where the fertile Gangetic soil gives me my legendary taste and smooth texture.

I prefer consistent, moderate watering during my flowering and fruit-set stages, but I need well-drained soil to ensure my roots stay healthy in the humid North Indian plains.

I crave full, direct sunlight for at least 8 to 10 hours a day to develop my high sugar content and the signature sweetness that Bihar is proud of.

I thrive in warm to hot climates between 25°C and 40°C and am perfectly adapted to the hot summers and fertile riverbeds of the Indo-Gangetic belt.

I grow into a large, magnificent tree with a spreading canopy; I perform best in deep, fertile alluvial soil that is rich in organic matter.

I appreciate a balanced diet of organic farmyard manure in the winter and a boost of potassium and phosphorus before my flowering season begins.

My scientific name is Mangifera indica 'Dudhiya Malda' and I belong to the Anacardiaceae family.

My fruit flesh is a safe, Vitamin-rich treat for pets, but my sap and leaves contain urushiol-like irritants and should be kept away from them.

My broad, evergreen canopy is a powerhouse for air filtration, absorbing carbon dioxide and providing deep, cooling shade during the peak of summer.

I am rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and essential minerals, and I am considered a "gourmet" variety, often gifted as a symbol of prestige in Eastern India.

Because my skin is so thin, I am delicate to handle and can be susceptible to fruit flies, so I require careful monitoring as I approach ripeness.

I am a very sturdy and long-lived perennial tree that can continue to provide legendary "Dudhiya" harvests for 50 to 80 years or more.
