The 'Totapuri' or Ginimoothi variety of mangoes is widely grown in southern India and to a lesser degree in Sri Lanka. Among the several names for it are Bangalore, Collector, Kallamai, Kili Mooku, Gilli, Mukku, "Ottu," and Sandersha. While much of the rest of India calls it Bangalora or Totapuri, Bengaluru refers to it as Ginimoothi Maavina Kayi. Literal translations are parrot face (muthi) and beak (gini). Because the skin of the Totapuri mango is not as bitter as the skins of other mango kinds, it is typically eaten with the flesh of the fruit.
