About this stamp
On the Stamp
A photograph of the white peak of Nanda Devi above blue shadowed slopes, with its name in Hindi and English, on a ₹6.50 stamp.
Nanda Devi
India Post issued four stamps on 19 May 1988 as Himalayan Peaks, at ₹1.50, ₹4, ₹5 and ₹6.50. The design is based on a photograph by Mandip Singh Soin. At 7,816 metres Nanda Devi, in Garhwal, is the second-highest mountain in India. It was first climbed in 1936, and it stands at the centre of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
