Mysuru: With the arrival of the mango season, Mysuru’s bustling markets are once again alive with the fragrance of summer’s favourite fruit. However, this year, the ‘black beauty’ — the Java plum, locally known as Jambu Nerale or Jamun — is steadily stealing the spotlight.
Jamun-laden bicycles and pushcarts are now a common sight at popular spots such as Bamboo Bazaar’s Old RMC Fruit Market, M.G. Road Market, Devaraja Market, Mandi Mohalla, Agrahara Market and on busy stretches like Yadavagiri near Akashvani, Kalidasa Road at Panchavati Circle, Chamaraja Double Road, Crawford Hall Road and Kuvempunagar Main Road.
