Water Melon
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a significant cucurbitaceous vegetable, also known as tarbuj, tarmuj, kaligad, and kalinda across different regions of India. This versatile fruit is grown in various Indian states, each with its unique climate. Despite these differences, watermelons thrive due to their adaptability and preference for heat.
