Mangoes!
Mango stall at Crawford Market (Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Mandai)
In India summer means Mangoes! India is the largest producer of Mangoes and they come in different varieties. Alphonso, Benishaan or Benisha and Kesar mango varieties are considered among the best mangoes in India's southern states, while Dussehri and Langda varieties are most popular in the northern states.
Ripe mangoes are typically eaten fresh while 'Aamras' is a popular pulp/thick juice made of mangoes with and is eaten with chapattis, rice or pooris. Sour, unripe mangoes are used in chutneys, pickles, or side dishes, or may be eaten raw with salt, chili, or soy sauce. A cooling summer drink called panna or panha comes from mangoes.

<span style="color:yellow">Gray langurs</span> <br> Khem Vilas, Ranthambhore
Gray langurs are large and fairly terrestrial, inhabiting forest, open lightly wooded habitats, and urban areas on the Indian subcontinent. Langurs mostly walk quadrupedally and spend half their time on and the ground and the other half in the trees.[7] They will also make bipedal hops, climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaps. Langurs can leap 3.7-4.6 m (12.0-15.0 ft) horizontally and 10.7-12.2 m (35-40 ft) in descending.

Khem Vilas: At Ranthambhore, we stayed at Khem Vilas, a beautiful jungle camp with three types of accommodations nestled in open grasslands with small water bodies, spread over an area of 10 acres. <br>

on June 16, 2011Love the comp and color on this. Also, I'm a mango fanatic! It is hard to get the big, sweet ones here. We seem to get the smaller, not so sweet kind.
