Khurasani Imli, a unique fruit obtained from the African Baobab tree (Adansonia digitata), is closely associated with the historic town of Mandu in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. It was awarded a Geographical Indication (GI) Tag to recognise its distinct identity, heritage, and strong connection to the region. Mandu hosts India's largest natural cluster of Baobab trees, and the area's specific soil and climatic conditions contribute to the fruit's unique characteristics. The GI Tag protects the authenticity of the product and preserves its cultural, historical, and ecological significance for future generations.
