In a few days from today India will be celebrating the Independence day on 15th of August. This is one of the image of Vidhana Soudha, Bangalore taken long back. In front of the Vidhana Soudha across the road we have High Court. This map of India was drawn on the lawn with small plants in the High Court campus.
(Click on the image for bigger view) I had taken this snap from the High Court side by taking both the India map and Vidhana Soudha in the same frame.
In 1957 the Indian Government released stamps on map of India in 11 different color shades.
The above are the few stamps from my collection.
Good one...

ReplyDeleteStamps are now-a-days rare to meet. Otherwise I remember I used to buy it from the post-office And then a letter with stamps to a friend/relative.
ReplyDeleteThose were the days.
Very interesting; I always like to look at old stamps.:)
ReplyDeleteThe "India map" on the lawn is a very lovely touch; what is the significance of the balance, if I may ask?
It's realy impressive!
