A picture speaks a thousand words- this is probably the idea behind continuing the tradition of printing stamps, even though the art of writing letters and postcards is slowly being lost to technological inventions. Needless to say, these stamps also cater to the penchant of Indian philatelists and if you too belong to this community, then we hope that this listicle is a gateway to happiness for you!
