About this stamp
On the Stamp
The logo of INDEPEX ’97: an elephant seen from the front, standing on a carpet shaped like a postage stamp under a ceremonial canopy, printed in brown and gold, on a ₹2 stamp.
INDEPEX ’97
India Post issued this ₹2 stamp on 5 October 1996, more than a year ahead of INDEPEX ’97, the world philatelic exhibition held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, from 15 to 22 December 1997 for the golden jubilee of India’s independence. Catalogues count it as the first of six issues for the exhibition. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on iStampGallery’s page on the exhibition and on the stamp itself.
