About this stamp

On the Stamp

Sprigs of white jasmine flowers and buds among green leaves, on the ₹5 stamp.

Jasmine

India Post issued two scented stamps, ₹5 and ₹15, and a ₹20 miniature sheet on 26 April 2008 on the jasmine, juhi or mogra, a small shrub or vine grown across South and Southeast Asia for its sweetly fragrant flowers, which are also used in perfumes. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
