Ramphal – A Famous Fruit of Rishikesh – This photo was taken at Swarg Ashram near Gita Bhawan in Rishikesh (Uttarakhand)

Ramphal is sweet, sour, tasty and is good for digestion, beneficial for diabetes patients, and fulfills the deficiency of blood in the body.

Here in Rishikesh, you will get 5 pieces of this fruit for 20 rupees.

It is believed that in Treta Yuga when Lord Rama killed Ravana – a Brahmin, he was accused of Brahmahatya, for which he came for removal to Rishikesh. Lord Rama tasted this fruit here. Due to this reason, this fruit came to be called Ramphal.

You will get this fruit almost 12 months a year.

Do try this delicious fruit if you happen to visit Rishikesh.
