Greetings 2003

India Post issued four Greetings stamps on 28 October 2003, two at ₹4 and two at ₹5, with fish, birds, butterflies and squirrels; Colnect notes that they were printed together in strips of four. They were designed by Kamleshwar Singh and printed by offset lithography at Calcutta Security Printers.
