When referring to a city or state in India we often refer by its nickname rather than its actual name such as Fruit basket of India, Spice garden of India and so on.
- With the fertile lands, sweeping monsoons, and glorious sunshine, India have earned this mighty country the moniker 'fruit basket of the world' due to the long list of bright and colourful exotic fruits that flourish in this environment.
- Supplies of pear, almond, citrus, raisins, apple, peach plum, walnut, grapes, mango and a few more make Himachal Pradesh the "Fruit Bowl of India."
-
Apple is the state fruit of Himachal Pradesh.
Hence, the correct answer is Himachal Pradesh.
- Himachal Pradesh covers India's area 1.7%, it is the 18th state in Terms of Country. A number of princely hilly states were integrated into a single unit to be administered by the Government of India. Himachal Pradesh came into being as a state of the India Union on April 15, 1948, by integrating 31 big and small hill states of the region. In 1956, it was converted into a Union Territory. Subsequently, some more hill areas of the Punjab state were added to this Union Territory and it was made into a full-fledged state, the status that it continues to have now.
