Nagauri Ashwagandha

The Central government has awarded a Geographical Indication (GI) tag to Nagauri Ashwagandha, acknowledging its distinct regional character. It is primarily cultivated in Rajasthan’s Nagaur district, where the dry climate and sandy soil provide ideal growing conditions. This variety is known for its longer and thicker roots, which are rich in medicinal compounds, particularly alkaloids. Its berries are dark and bright red, a sign of high quality. The roots are brittle and starchy, and Nagauri Ashwagandha is regarded as the finest Ashwagandha variety suited to arid regions.
