World's Costliest Miyazaki Mango Offered to Lord Ram at Ayodhya Temple

The world's most expensive mango variety, the Japanese Miyazaki or "Egg of the Sun", was offered to Lord Ram at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya for the first time. The rare fruit, cultivated by local farmer Omprakash Singh, is valued between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 3 lakh per kilogram internationally, with a single fruit estimated to cost around Rs 1 lakh.

Singh planted the Miyazaki tree about two years ago to test its suitability to Ayodhya's climate. The tree successfully adapted and produced nearly a dozen fruits this season, each weighing between 150 and 300 grams. According to Singh, the Miyazaki variety is known for its exceptional sweetness, high fibre content and nutritional value. The first ripe fruit was offered to the deity following local tradition, presented along with a Tulsi leaf.
