Celebrating India and Oman’s Friendship

The longstanding friendship between India and Oman, rooted in geography, history, and culture, is celebrated through a Joint Issue of Commemorative Postage Stamp. This initiative highlights the deep bonds of friendship and cultural similarities between the two nations, spanning back thousands of years.

The Joint Stamp features traditional dance forms of India and Oman, symbolizing the rich cultural heritage shared by both countries. The artwork, created by Mrs. Soni Budhia, showcases the vibrant Dandiya Raas folk dance from Gujarat, India, and the ancient Al Razha folk art from Oman. These dances are not just performances but living manifestations of the values, norms, and traditions cherished by the people of both nations.

The imagery on the stamp includes iconic architectural symbols from both countries: Hawa Mahal from Jaipur, India, and Fort Nizwa from Oman. These landmarks serve as reminders of the historical and architectural marvels that define the landscapes of India and Oman.

The issuance of the India-Oman Joint Stamp marks a historic milestone in the enduring relationship between the two nations. It symbolizes the warmth, goodwill, and friendship that have characterized their interactions over the years. This commemorative stamp will be cherished by philatelists and art enthusiasts alike in both India and Oman, serving as a tangible symbol of the strong and enduring ties between the two countries.

The Department of Posts is proud to commemorate the India-Oman Friendship through this Joint Issue of Commemorative Postage Stamp, celebrating the deep-rooted bonds of friendship and cultural exchange between India and Oman.
