The exhibition presents a curated collection of postage stamps reflecting India’s cultural heritage, historical legacy, and postal traditions, with thematic highlights on the nation’s Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Freedom Fighters, offering visitors an engaging and enriching experience, according to an official release.
The philatelic exhibition will be open between April 14 and 17, 2026.
