Overview
Rajadana is one of the herbs traditionally used in Ayurveda for weakness & debility. Rajamra (Kalami/Grafted Mango) is the superior variety of mango obtained through grafting. It is considered the best among all mangoes. The fruit is very sweet, fragrant and has less fiber compared to wild varieties. It is more nutritious and better for Vrishya (aphrodisiac) purposes. It is the most commonly cultivated variety today. Verses: 2.
