The jnana palam is sometimes described to be a golden mango
Jnana palam (Tamil: ஞானப்பழம், romanized: Jñāna paḻam, lit. 'Fruit of wisdom'), also rendered Gnana Palam, is the name of a divine fruit in Hindu mythology. It is associated with the myth of Murugan and Ganesha participating in a contest, and the former's sacred abode of Palani.[1] Presented by the sage Narada to Shiva, the jnana palam is regarded to have possessed the elixir of wisdom. In some iterations, the jnana palam is described to be a golden mango.[2]
