The Ganga: Eternal Lifeline of India
The Ganga River stands as one of the most revered symbols of India’s cultural and spiritual heritage. Flowing through ancient cities, sacred ghats, and thriving settlements, it has shaped the civilization, faith, and daily lives of millions. For centuries, poets, saints, and travelers have celebrated its sanctity, while its waters continue to nourish vast stretches of the country.
The city view along the Ganga reflects the perfect harmony of tradition and modernity—where timeless rituals at the ghats blend seamlessly with the vibrant rhythms of urban life. From Varanasi’s historic temples to bustling riverfronts, the Ganga is not merely a river but the soul of India, embodying purity, divinity, and continuity.
On the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of India–Egypt Diplomatic Relations, the Department of Posts proudly issues a Commemorative Postage Stamp. The design beautifully captures the serene Ganga River with its iconic city view, symbolizing India’s eternal spirit, much like the Nile does for Egypt. Together, the Ganga and the Nile highlight the shared essence of two ancient civilizations, bound by history, culture, and friendship.
