It is grown largely in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and is used primarily in South Indian cuisine. In Telugu, it is nicknamed baṅgāru tīgalu (బంగారు తీగలు, lit. "golden vine").^{[citation needed]} Sona masuri is a premium variety of rice that is also exported to many countries.
