Amagciwane asetshenziswe cishe uma nje umuntu esungula ezolimo. Izihlahla zemifino zitholakala kulo lonke elase-Asiya lasendulo nase-Oceania futhi zazithandwa ngenxa yezimbali zazo ezinhle, izithelo ezinomsoco nezithambile, kanye nezinkuni eziqinile ezizovunwa. Akumele kusimangaze ukuthi eziningi zezinkolelo ezizungeze umango zigxile othandweni, emshadweni, kanye no - ngokobulili.
Isibonelo, thatha u-Kama, uhlobo lwe-Cupid-figure kwimfundiso yama-Vedic, kodwa ngendlela ethakazelisayo.
(Waziwa nangokuthi Kamadeva, noma njengoMāra emasosini amaHindu.) Nokho, uhamba ngamanye amagama amaningi njengoKandarpa, Manmatha, noMadana. Lawa magama ahunyushwa ngokuthi "ukuthukuthela ngisho nabonkulunkulu," "ukuhlushwa kwezinhliziyo," futhi "ukudakwa," ngokulandelana; ukusiza ukukhombisa ukuthi amandla akhe anamandla kangakanani.) Njenge-Cupid, i-Kama ikhuthaza uthando phakathi kokubili abantu nabankulunkulu ngokusebenzisa imicibisholo. Kodwa-ke, imicibisholo ka-Kama ifakwe izimbali zemango. Iphunga elimnandi lomcibisholo wezimbali ligcwalisa noma yikuphi okuhloswe ngokuthandwa okungathandeki nothando. Ngokufanayo, eRamayana , iRama ivukela ngokocansi ngemuva kokuhlangana ne-mango blossom kanye "nephunga elimangalisa".
Enye yezinkolelo ezidume kakhulu zamaHindu ezibandakanya ama-mango, umshado wemithi yemango. Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi ama-mango angadliwa kuphela emva kokuba izihlahla zihlukaniswe ngomshado. Le mishado ivikela izithelo, labo abadla izithelo, futhi kuthiwa baqinisekisa isivuno esikhulu.
Ngokuvamile, izihlahla zemango zingashada nezinye izihlahla zemango, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi zingashada nezinye izihlahla ezifana nomkhiwane noma i-tamarind. Kulezi zimo umuthi wangoMango uthathwa njengomyeni, kanti omunye umlobo umakoti.
Yiqiniso, kulezi zinsuku imibhangqwana eminingi yamaHindu ivele isuke ishada izihlahla futhi ikhetha ukubamba imishado yabantu emangcwabeni yemango ngenkolelo yokuthi lezi zihlahla zizobusisa lo mbhangqwana ohlangene ogcwele izinyunyana eziningi, kuyilapho izihlahla zibusiswa ngesitshalo esihle .
Kwezinye izimo, abantu bayashadile nemithi yemango.
Ezingqungqutheleni zamaHindu, i-mango nayo yanikeza ulwazi kunkulunkulu, uGanesha. Isiqhwaga esinesihluku, uNarada, sifike eShiva naseParvati ngenhloso yokusebenzisa umango okhethekile ukudala umshado emishadweni yabo. Kodwa-ke, laba ababili benqabile ngoba behluleka ukwabelana nomango, okube, uma bebelwane, bekuzokwenza amandla awo.
Amadodana amabili omabili, uGanesha noKartikeya, bafika kulo futhi baqala ukulwa nalo. UShiva wabikezela ukuthi kuzoba nomncintiswano ukubona ukuthi ubani ongayibhaqa umhlaba izikhathi ezintathu uzowina umango. UKartikeya wayazi ukuthi uGanesha akakwazanga ukumshaya emncintiswaneni omuhle futhi ngokushesha washiya ukuthi umango uzoba ngowakhe. Kodwa-ke, uGanesha, ethembele ekuhlakanipheni esikhundleni sokusheshisa, watshela abazali bakhe ukuthi bazoba bonke. Wazijikeleza kathathu futhi wathola lowo mango wayidla ngaphambi kokuba iKartikeya ibuye ibuye.
