Food · Fruit & orchard
A season you can taste.
Bihar’s fruits belong to orchards, market arrivals, childhood anticipation and regional pride. This collection follows varieties—not merely generic names—and the people who grow and carry them.
Place in every bite
Bihar’s named
fruit identities.
Geographical recognition is a starting point. The fuller story includes orchard knowledge, a short harvest window and the journey from grower to market.
Bhagalpuri Zardalu
A fragrant, GI-recognised mango carrying the name of Bhagalpur and one of Bihar’s strongest orchard identities.
Shahi Litchi
Bihar’s GI-recognised litchi, closely identified with Muzaffarpur and the orchards of north Bihar.
Beyond the headline fruit
The everyday
fruit basket.
This atlas will grow through varieties, seasons, markets and local preference—not a catalogue copied from elsewhere.

Worth waiting for.
A fruit’s season is part of its identity. Future entries will record the weeks people wait for, the varieties they distinguish and the places whose names travel with the harvest.
