22-9-2017: RAMAYANA A commemorative postage stamp

Ram a chant, a magic word, the divine personified, the omnipresent who is there in every grain of sand, a noble king, a gentle prince, the blue deity who roamed across the country carrying the people of the different cultures along. Ramayana, the story of Ram composed first by Valmiki around 500 b.c., has possibly many retelling before that as well as afterwards. The basic storyline, as narrated by Valmiki is the story of Ram, the prince of Ayodhya who practices the ideal code of conduct. Maharishi Vishwamitra takes Ram and Laxman as his disciples teaching them the intricacies of using various arms and weapons. India Post is pleased to release a set of eleven stamps depicting signficant instance from Ramayana.
