Stamp Information

:

Indian transition and achievements down the ages. This is done with the help of multiple projection techniques. Seeking to promote "Peace and Progress for Asia through economic co-operation" the Fair adopted for its symbol a stylish representation of the hand of Buddha, a sign of freedom from fear and as a mark of benediction to all mankind. The elements of the insignia represent the initials of the Fair nomenclature. This insignia of Asia 72 appears on the 20 Paise stamp to be brought out on this occasion. A 9th century sculpture representation of the hand of Buddha in 'Abhaya Mudra' is adopted on the Rs. 1.45 stamp. The original sculpture is available in Patna Museum. The Posts and Telegraphs Department is proud to commemorate the opening of Asia 72 on 3rd November, 1972 through the issue of these stamps.
