About this stamp

The words of a celebrated saint-poet of the 17th century resonate with reverence for the divine presence pervading the universe. A contemporary of Akbar, he authored the Ramcharitmanas, a popular Hindi rendition of the Indian epic Ramayana, leaving an indelible mark on Hindi literature. In humble homage, Tulasidas bows with folded hands to the Lord. This insight into his spiritual depth and literary legacy is drawn from a painting housed in the Bharat Kala Bhawan, Banaras.
