About this stamp
On the Stamp
The Qutb Minar, Delhi, on a ₹10 stamp.
The Qutb Minar
On 15 August 1949, the second anniversary of independence, India issued its first definitive series of its own, sixteen values from 3 pies to 15 rupees, to replace the stamps bearing the King’s head. They show the temples, monuments and sculptures of India’s past, from Ajanta to the Taj Mahal, and the series is often called the Archaeological series. The 10 rupees shows the Qutb Minar of Delhi, the great fluted minaret begun at the end of the 12th century by Qutb ud-Din Aibak.
