About this stamp

On the Stamp

An aerial view of the renovated Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi.

Two Venues of the Delhi Games

India Post issued two ₹5 stamps and a ₹10 miniature sheet on 1 August 2010 on two Delhi venues of the XIX Commonwealth Games. The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, built for the 1982 Asian Games, was renovated as the main venue of the 2010 Games, with the athletics and the opening and closing ceremonies. The Talkatora Indoor Stadium in New Delhi, owned by the New Delhi Municipal Council, seats about 3,000. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
