About this stamp
Kashmir:
The Kashmiri bride’s dupatta, fringed with gold thread and sequins, frames her head ornament made of beaten and incised silver plaques. These pendants fall low across her brow, creating a framing effect that continues with sequinned hoops rimming her ears and the deep drops from their lobes. This intricate silverwork highlights her face, complementing the richly embroidered ornamentation of her dark, loose-fitting choga. The dramatic arrangement of her jewellery, meticulously crafted, reflects her personality.
The Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department proudly commemorates these traditional bridal styles by issuing a set of four stamps on Brides of India, celebrating the rich cultural heritage and artistry of Indian bridal adornments.
