About this stamp

The emblem of the Games, an arch drawn from the Jantar Mantar with a rising sun, beneath a ring of suns in green, red and purple, with the words “IX Asian Games Delhi 1982” in Hindi and English, on a ₹1 stamp.
The Games Emblem
India Post issued two ₹1 stamps on 28 July 1981, the first of its issues for the IX Asian Games, held at Delhi in November and December 1982. The emblem draws on the Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century observatory at Delhi, with the sun, the symbol of the Asian Games Federation. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
