There is a large population of professional people from India here in San Diego. Many are enthusiastic gardeners and I have met quite a few through my local plant sales. Through discussions with these folks, I am convinced that there is not one "real temple banana" but several. Even in India you will not find agreement among peoples from the northwest, central west coast, central, south, and central east coast, and northeast. There are zealous people who duel over this question, particularly in the far south.

If you perform a google search targeting Tamal Nadu Agricultural University, you might come across a few articles describing the genetic groups of bananas found at various temples throughout the southern half of India (multiple types per site).
