Ujire Mallige Exclusive =link= -
Ujire is a small town nestled in the Belthangady taluk of Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka. The "Mallige" in question is not the common Jasminum officinale found across South Asia. It is a specific cultivar, often identified locally as Jasminum sambac (known as "Malligae" in Kannada and Tulu), which has adapted uniquely to the laterite soil, humidity, and microclimate of the Ujire region. The term "Exclusive" signals that this flower is not cultivated in vast, industrial greenhouses. Instead, it thrives in small, family-owned farms ( thotas ), where traditional farming methods are preserved. This exclusivity is born of geography; attempts to transplant the Ujire variety to neighboring towns like Moodbidri or Puttur often result in a visible change in petal thickness and a notable dilution of its signature aroma.
