About this stamp
On the Stamp
A river dolphin with a long toothed beak swimming among water plants, with the words “River Dolphin” in Hindi and English, on a ₹4 stamp.
The Ganges River Dolphin
India Post issued two stamps on 4 March 1991 as Endangered Marine Mammals, at ₹4 and ₹6.50. The Ganges river dolphin lives in the Ganges and related rivers of India, Nepal and Bangladesh. The Government of India has since recognised it as the National Aquatic Animal. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
