My Stamp released; commemorating 75 years of Sree Rama Seva Mandali

A 'My Stamp' featuring the image of lord Hanuman against the backdrop of the Big Tent of Sree Rama Seva Mandali, Chamarajpet was released at the inauguration of the 77th Sri Ramanavami fest here on Saturday evening.

The postage stamp was released by union minister Ananth Kumar, Bangalore South Member of Parliament representing the BJP. Kumar was chief guest at the Mandali's music fest inauguration.

The stamp is priced at Rs.5 and it has been released to mark 75 years of the Mandali.

Chief Post Master Genl., M S Ramanujan who is based in Bangalore said that P&T could not consider  the Mandali's request for a postage stamp to mark 75 years and hence the My Stamp suggestion.

The stamp will be sold at the concerts venue from Monday but you will have to buy a sheet. The stamp has been funded by the Mandali and it is legally valid for use as postage.

At the event, the PMG said that the government could bring out postage stamps on the Hindu pantheon of gods and goddesses. " A few stamps on the gods have been brought out in the USA," he said.

Union minister Ananth Kumar was quick to pick up the hint of the CPMG. He said he would talk to prime minister Narendra Modi and effect the idea.

The postage stamp part of the launch event triggered much interest back stage.
