About this stamp
On the Stamp
A figure lying on the stomach, holding the raised feet with both hands on a plain coloured ground, with its name in Hindi and English, on a ₹5 stamp.
Dhanurasana
India Post issued four stamps on 30 December 1991 as Yogasanas, at ₹2, ₹5, ₹6.50 and ₹10. Dhanurasana takes its name from the Sanskrit dhanura, bow, for the shape of the body as the feet are drawn up by the hands. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
