About this stamp

Malayala Manorama

India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 16 March 2013 for 125 years of the Malayalam newspaper Malayala Manorama. The Malayala Manorama Company was incorporated at Kottayam by Kandathil Varghese Mappillai on 14 March 1888, and the paper first came out as a weekly. Published from Kottayam, it has become the largest-circulating newspaper in Kerala, with a readership of millions.

India Post has no brochure for this issue online, so this text draws on Wikipedia.
