India Post issued four stamps on 19 November 1982, the opening day of the IX Asian Games at Delhi. India Post’s folder notes that eleven countries took part in the first Asiad in 1951, and three times as many came to Delhi for 21 events, among them four new ones: equestrian, handball, golf and rowing. The folder names the new Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, with its synthetic tracks, and the Indraprastha Indoor Stadium among the venues built for the Games.
