Langra aam (mangoes) are the most popular variety of mangoes in India. But have you ever wondered where did it get its name from? Let us, tell you.

According to veteran mango cultivator, Padma Shri Haji Kalimullah Khan, around 250- 300 years back, a lame man in Banaras ate a mango and planted the seed near his home.
