India Post issued two stamps, ₹5 and ₹25, and a ₹30 miniature sheet on 29 July 2016, International Tiger Day, on the Tadoba-Andhari National Park and Tiger Reserve in Chandrapur district, Maharashtra. Tadoba was declared a national park in 1955; the Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary was created beside it in 1986, and the two were merged into the tiger reserve in 1995. Its teak and bamboo forests, cliffs, marshes and lakes hold tigers, leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, gaur and sambar. The name comes from Taru, a village chief said to have been killed by a tiger, and from the Andhari river. The stamps were designed by Nenu Gupta; Security Printing Press, Hyderabad printed 0.3 million of each and 0.1 million sheets.
