A pair of yoked bullocks, on a 4 annas stamp.
Bullocks
On Republic Day, 26 January 1955, India issued a new series of eighteen definitive stamps, from 3 pies to 10 rupees, on the theme of the First Five Year Plan: the farms, dams, crafts, industries and landscapes of the new republic. They were printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, on paper watermarked with stars. The 4 annas stamp shows a pair of yoked bullocks, the strength behind most of India’s ploughing and carting.
