Kolkata: A consignment of 200kg of the famed Haribhanga mangoes from Dhaka reached Kolkata on Wednesday evening for chief minister Mamata Banerjee as Bangladesh continued its "mango diplomacy" to serve as a goodwill gesture between the two nations.
Haribhanga mango is an indigenous variety that is primarily grown in the northern Bangladesh district of Rangpur. These mangoes are regarded as a symbol of good luck and prosperity and are associated with Bengali New Year celebrations.
