Patterns of leaves, flowers and fruits of the mango tree can be seen in Buddhist and Hindu monasteries in India. Hindus believe that the five petals of the mango flower represent the five arrows of Kamadeva, the goddess of love, and use the mango as an offering to the goddess Saraswati.Between 1556 and 1605, the Mughal emperor Akbar had an orchard of 100,000 mango trees near Delhi. Such a large scale orchard of mango trees was rare in the world at that time.

People agree that the first to introduce the mango to India outside the country is China's Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang Venerable Master, in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" in the "Umbero fruit, see the treasure of the world" such a record. And then spread to Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries, and then to the Mediterranean coastal countries, until after the 18th century to Brazil, the West Indies and the United States, such as Florida, where there are large mango forests.
