In the Bronze Age, the development of urban centres coincided with the emergence of settled agriculture. It was around this time that fruit culture also developed, and humans started growing fruits.
Many varieties of fruits were grown and consumed by the people of the Indus Valley. Bananas were grown in India by 500 BC. The Harappans are reported to have grown fruits such as dates, grapes, figs and sugarcane.
Fruits have been famous since ancient times in Hindu culture. Fruits are offered to deities during rituals on festivals. Many temples offer fruits as prasad to devotees. There are many mythological stories which state that fruits are considered as part of food consumed by heavenly beings apart from nectar.

Fruits have been grown and consumed
by people since antiquity. There is enough
evidence to suggest that fruits were consumed by humans
in ancient times, and the tradition continues to this day. We consume fruits daily, some for their health benefits and other for their taste. Some fruits are indigenous while others were introduced as a result of political and cultural interaction with other countries. The Mughal emperors were responsible for introducing certain varieties of fruits and so were the European colonizers. Come, let’s explore the world of juicy and delicious fruits!
Fruits are yellow, green, red...
Fruits are what we all are fed,
Some are from India, some are not,
Adding to heritage, to all what we got!!

THE FRUIT TALEI embellish the idols, add to their beauty,
I am used to fulfil wishes, it is my heartfelt duty.
Leaves touching me, always a blessed hand over my head.

Birds and animals enjoy my taste leaving seeds,
Then grow the trees and I continue to fulfil needs!

A FRUITY TALE FROM THE PANCHATANTRA
The Bird with Two Heads
Once there lived a bird named Bharunda. He had two heads but shared a common body. One day, it found a delicious fruit. One of the heads mumbled, ‘Oh what an attractive fruit. I must have it.’ On saying so, it started eating. Meanwhile the other head was observing all this. As it was clear that first head didn’t want to share the fruit, it justified its action by saying that since they both share the same body, it doesn’t matter who eats it. This selfishness of the first head hurt the second head very much and the second head became silent. Few days later, as they were wandering, the second head found some fruits. The fruits were from a poisonous tree. Then…

“The great night of Siva is the most sacred time for fasts, prayers, and offerings, when even the most involuntary acts, if pleasing to Siva, are made holy. There was a poor hunter once, who happened to take shelter during the night in Siva’s sacred Bael tree. He was delivered from the encumbrance of all previous existences.”
-The Siva Purana, 7th century A.D

family: PalmaceaeSanskrit Name: NarikelaHindi Name: Nariyal
The sanskrit name for coconut is sriphala which means the ‘fruit of prosperity.’ Coconut is considered as a symbol of auspicious beginnings. It is split into half before starting any auspicious work. In coastal regions, fishermen offer coconuts to the sea to venerate lords of winds and water, Varuna for smooth sailing. Coconut is a very important part of wedding rituals. The nut itself is taken as a symbol of life. In south India, coconuts occupy a special place in their rituals and customs. It is believed that the marks on the coconut represent the three-eyed lord shiva. H. Arshini Sai, Angappa CBSE Sr. Sec. School, Coimbatore
family: RutaceaeSanskrit Name: BilvaHindi Name: Bael
The bael fruit is described to be so sacred that its wood is not used as fuel. The bael is considered to be lord shiva’s tree (a tall tree with dark leaves, and fruits resembling pale sun). The trifoliate leaves symbolizes three eyes of lord shiva. Bael leaves are offered to lord shiva especially on the occasion of shivaratri.
Bael fruit is associated with goddess lakshmi. The fruit is also mentioned in the rig Veda. According to a popular legend, sweet beads fell and created bael trees while goddess Parvati was churning the oceans and creating life on the earth.
family: MyrtaceaeSanskrit Name: JambuHindi Name: Jamun
According to the Mahabharata, jamun is considered to be a cosmic tree located to the south of Mount Meru. It is said that the name Jambudvipa or continent of jamun trees was kept after a divine episode wherein the jamun tree’s ripened fruit burst and its juice fell in the form of waterfalls making a river. In the ramayana, lord rama is said to have survived on jamun for 14 years. lord Krishna’s blue skin is likened to the jamun, which perhaps is one of the reason why temples dedicated to Krishna also house jamun trees. Vanshika Sharma, VIII-A, Bhatnagar International School, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi
family: RhamnaceaeSanskrit Name: GudaphalaHindi Name: Beri, Ber
Ber is considered as poor man’s apple. Ber is also one of the fruits that is offered to lord shiva during shivaratri. Indian Jujubes or ber are central to the puja of goddess saraswati during Basant Panchami in west Bengal. It is said that Maharana Pratap survived on ber when he was at war with emperor Akbar. During the construction of sri Harminder sahib, guru Arjan Dev meditated under the ber tree.

Mango is called the ‘King of Fruits’. In India, it is the best known fruit. According to Hindu mythology, once Narada Muni gifted lord shiva and goddess Parvati the golden fruit (mango) with the instruction that only one person could eat it. so they chose to give it to one of their sons (Kartika and ganesha) on a condition that whoever would take three rounds of the universe first, will be given the mango as a prize. ganesha being smart took three rounds of his parents saying “My parents are my universe” and reached first. Therefore ganesha got the mango fruit owing to his unsurpassed love for his parents.

The banana is considered to be a boon-giving tree. No wedding ritual or ceremony is considered complete without its presence. Banana trees are used during the rituals of Durga Puja, in which it symbolizes lord ganesha’s wife.
Banana is called ‘Kadli Phalam’ too. According to mythology, once Durvasa Muni was deep in sleep. As the sun was about to set, his wife tried waking her husband up as he would miss his evening prayers. Durvasa was known for his short temper. upon waking, he cursed his wife that she will become a kadli (banana) plant and be on earth forever. His wife requested she may always be near to god and may her fruits, leaves be used in service of god. so banana is used as a sacred plant in every ritual and ceremony and as an offering to deities.Anupama Chaudhary, X-A, Suditi Global Academy, Etawah; Anushka Sharma, VII-B, Bhavan’s SL Public School, Amritsar
