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.
