About this stamp

On the Stamp

A child’s painting of a deer drinking from a forest pool, on the second of the two ₹5 stamps.

Children’s Day 2009

India Post issued two ₹5 stamps for Children’s Day, 14 November 2009, the birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru, on the theme “The Heart of a Child”. Both are children’s paintings of animals in their natural habitat, a tiger and a deer, with a message about protecting endangered species. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
