Gobindobhog (Bengali: গোবিন্দভোগ) is a rice cultivated mostly in West Bengal in India. It is a short grain, white, aromatic, sticky rice having a sweet buttery flavor. It derives its name from its usage as the principal ingredient in the preparation of the offerings to Govindaji, the family deity of the Setts of Kolkata.[1]
Gobindobhog was traditionally cultivated in the districts of Bardhaman, Hooghly, Nadia and Birbhum. Later, it began to be cultivated in Bankura and Purulia.[2]
It is also grown in other states. For instance:
In August 2017, the Gobinobhog rice was allotted the geographical indication tag of West Bengal by the Government of India.[3]
It has many traditional Bengali recipes intended for it specifically.
