About this stamp

On the Stamp

A sarus crane wading in water, printed in dark blue, on a ₹1 definitive.

Sarus Crane

India Post issued this ₹1 definitive on 20 July 2000; Colnect records it as printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, on paper watermarked with the Asokan Capital. The sarus crane, a large crane that does not migrate, lives in parts of the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Standing up to 1.8 metres, it is the tallest of the flying birds. No India Post brochure for this stamp is online, so this text draws on Wikipedia, Colnect and the stamp itself.
