About this stamp

On the Stamp

A figure standing with legs apart, bending to one side with one arm raised on a plain coloured ground, with its name in Hindi and English, on a ₹10 stamp.

Utthita Trikonasana

India Post issued four stamps on 30 December 1991 as Yogasanas, at ₹2, ₹5, ₹6.50 and ₹10. Utthita Trikonasana, the extended triangle pose, is a standing posture whose name joins the Sanskrit words for extended and triangle. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
