About this stamp
On the Stamp
A painted stork standing in the shallows, printed in orange red, with “Painted Stork” in Hindi and English, on a ₹4 definitive.
Painted Stork
India Post issued this ₹4 definitive on 20 September 2001; Colnect records it as printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, on paper watermarked with the Asokan Capital, one of its wildlife definitives. The painted stork is a large wader of the wetlands of tropical Asia south of the Himalayas, named for the pink feathers of the adults; it feeds in flocks in shallow water, sweeping its half-open beak from side to side to catch small fish by touch. No India Post brochure for this stamp is online, so this text draws on Wikipedia, Colnect and the stamp itself.
