    Hi Neeta, mango ginger is ginger which has been grown near mango trees and thus inherits its flavour. It is available in most vegetable/grocery supermarkets in south India, but I am not sure if you would be able to get it in the US. You can try the Indian/Chinese supermarkets in the US, you may get lucky.
