About this stamp

On the Stamp

A portrait of Mahatma Gandhi in round spectacles, printed in black, with the name “Gandhiji” in Hindi and English, on a 60 paise stamp.

Mahatma Gandhi

This 60 paise definitive stamp was issued in 1988, and catalogues give the date as 15 June. It uses the same portrait as the Gandhi definitives of earlier values, in the long run of everyday stamps bearing Gandhi and Nehru. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
