The 'Langra' mango, also known as Banarasi Langra,[1] is a mango cultivar primarily grown in Varanasi, or Banaras, Northern India.[2] In some part of northern India and in Bihar 'Langra' mango is also known as 'Malda' Mango, referring to the town of Malda in West Bengal.

This cultivar retains a greenish tinge while ripening. It is normally harvested during the last half of July. Around 2006, it was known to be gaining popularity on the international market.[3] It is considered suitable for slicing and canning.[4]
