Ghani Khan's farm

A three-in-one shot showing  paddy, cane and mango growing in a farm near Mysore belonging to Ghani Khan. One of his forefather who served in Tipu Sultan's army got this land as Sultan's gift. The mango tree in the picture, says the farm owner, dates back to Tipu's days. The farm he inherited has scores of varied varieties of mango.

P for paddy

Farmer Ghani Khan grows 100 plus varieties of paddy (for seed bank) and has on his 20 acre farm over 100 odd mango trees. Each tree produces a mango variety with distinctly different taste. The ageing trees came with the ancestral land in Mandya, Karnataka , that that was a gift from Tipu Sultan to a Ghani Khan's ancestor who had served in Tipu's army.
