Amritsar Featured on 30 Postal Stamps and 3 Coins, Philatelists Seek More Recognition
Amritsar, founded by the fourth Sikh Guru Guru Ram Das, has been featured on at least 30 postal stamps and three coins issued by the Department of Posts, highlighting its spiritual sites, historical figures, and cultural heritage. Philatelist Neeraj Jain compiled these stamps in a collage titled "My Amritsar - Sifti Da Ghar," tracing the city's postal history from 1935 to 2022. Despite this, members of the Amritsar Philately Club feel the city remains underrepresented as it approaches its 450th anniversary.
