Began Phali, also known as Banganapalli, is one of the most common cultivars of mango (Mangifera indica) grown in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in India and Pakistan.[1][2][3] It is named after the town of Banganapalle in Andhra Pradesh, India.

The fruit is described as obliquely oval in shape, around 14 cm in length, with yellow flesh and a thin, smooth yellow skin. The flesh is of a firm, meaty texture and is sweet and lacks fibre.[4][2][5] The cultivar is the most sought after in Andhra Pradesh.[6] It is a mid-season variety that is good for canning.[4]
