On 15 August 1949, the second anniversary of independence, India issued its first definitive series of its own, sixteen values from 3 pies to 15 rupees showing the temples, monuments and sculptures of India’s past, often called the Archaeological series. The 4 annas value shows one of the great temples of Bhubaneswar, the temple city of Odisha. This post is for the printing dated 30 April 1951.
