This Indian postage stamp dates from the early years after independence, around the late 1950s to early 1960s. It features a symbolic map of India in white against a deep green circular background, representing national unity and identity. The left side displays a vertical panel of stylized lotus motifs — a traditional emblem of purity and renewal — while the denomination “1 naye paisa” reflects India’s transition to the decimal currency system introduced in 1957. The design is simple yet powerful, emphasizing both cultural heritage and modern nationhood.
