About this stamp

On the Stamp

A figure kneeling and bending back to hold the heels on a plain coloured ground, with its name in Hindi and English, on a ₹6.50 stamp.

Ustrasana

India Post issued four stamps on 30 December 1991 as Yogasanas, at ₹2, ₹5, ₹6.50 and ₹10. Ustrasana is a kneeling back bend, named from the Sanskrit ustra, camel. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
