“Arka Bhavani is a popular hybrid variety of dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus), prized for its high yield and nutritious, flavorful pods. Sold as seeds for home gardeners, it is commonly grown as a climbing vine for vertical gardens and widely used in Indian cuisine. As a type of hyacinth bean, it is also valued as an ‘orphan legume’ for its ability to enrich soil.”
