Ten famous mangoes, ten hometowns — India's best-loved varieties map from Girnar to the Ganges
Ten celebrated mango varieties plotted at the town or region each is reported to come from or traditionally call home, across nine Indian states. These are reported origins from popular and trade sources — not proven genetic birthplaces — and each coordinate is a practical anchor for the named place, not an exact orchard.

The shortlist, row by row
| Variety | Reported origin or traditional home | State | Note | Source |
|---|
Method: 10 rows, one per mango variety, each giving the variety name, a reported origin or traditional home, its state, an anchor latitude and longitude for that place, a short note, and the source page the association came from. Origins are as reported by the cited popular and trade sources, not verified genetic birthplaces; coordinates locate a town or region, not a specific orchard. No totals or rankings are computed. Nothing was cut for space.
