About this stamp
On the Stamp
Two round heads of kadamba flowers among large glossy leaves, with the name in Hindi and English, on a ₹1 stamp.
The Kadamba
India Post issued four stamps on 1 July 1977 on Indian flowers: the lotus, the rhododendron, the kadamba and the gloriosa lily. The kadamba, Neolamarckia cadamba, is a large tree whose tiny fragrant flowers grow in round heads like balls. In Hindu tradition it is the tree of Krishna, who played beneath it on the banks of the Yamuna. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
