Eleven mangos on the map: from Siolim’s Hilario to Malihabad’s Dashehari and Salem’s Totapuri

“show me a pretty map with mangos as "markers" on the map for each location”

Thirteen mango-variety rows carried coordinates in this pass; 11 points pass coordinate validation inside their named state and are plotted below, one 🥭 per state, spanning the west coast (Goa), the north (Uttar Pradesh) and the deep south (Tamil Nadu). Halo colour marks how each variety is tied to its place.

Data-quality note: Karnataka’s Appemidi and West Bengal’s Himsagar rows are excluded — their extracted coordinates fall visibly outside their named states and await correction. Kerala resolved no coordinate in this pass, so it is listed here rather than invented on the map.

Malihabad’s Dashehari is by far the best-documented marker, with 31 source mentions — six times Gujarat’s Kesar from Junagadh’s Girnar hills. etvbharat.com

Eight of the 11 plotted varieties “originated” at their marker place; only Punjab’s Manohar is a selected/developed cultivar and Odisha’s Suvarnarekha is simply grown at Balasore. en.bharatpedia.org

Goa’s Hilario from Siolim in Bardez is the westernmost coastal marker and the second most-cited, with 8 source mentions. goaholidayhomes.com

The trail runs roughly 1,700 km north–south, from Ludhiana’s Manohar at 30.9°N down to Salem’s Totapuri at 11.7°N. salemmango.com

Method: 13 coordinate-resolved mango-variety rows (one intended marker per state); 11 plotted after excluding Karnataka/Appemidi and West Bengal/Himsagar for mis-geocoded points outside their states. Kerala had no coordinate-resolved point. Mentions = number of documenting sources found per variety. Base geometry: Natural Earth countries (state outlines unavailable at this scale).
