Bhagalpur. Watermelon means green from outside and bright red-juicy fruit from inside. Just seeing them brings relief to your health. But now this picture has also changed. Watermelons can also turn yellow. Rather say that watermelon means yellow yellow fruit.

Bhagalpur is a city situated on the banks of Ganga. Various types of farming are done here. Especially on the banks of Ganga, vegetables and fruits are cultivated on a large scale. Due to the sandy soil on the banks of Ganga, watermelon is cultivated on a large scale here. Now the farmer of Bhagalpur has started growing watermelon on loamy soil also.
