Scindia releases Commemorative Postage Stamps on Historic Mahakumbh 2025

Published: Feb 14, 2025

By TIOLCorplaws News Service

NEW DELHI, FEB 14, 2025: THE Department of Posts is proud to release a commemorative souvenir sheet with three Stamps on the Maha Kumbh 2025. The stamps were unveiled by Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, the Hon'ble Union Minister for Communications and Development of the North Eastern Region, at Arail Ghat Post Office, Prayagraj.

Honouring the rich traditions of the Maha Kumbh 2025, other philatelic items, including special covers and cancellations on sacred Snan days, 'Divya, Bhavya and Digital Mahakumbh' and a picture postcard celebrating 'Prakhyat Prayagraj' were also released. These philatelic releases highlight the historical, cultural and spiritual significance of the Maha Kumbh.

The origins of the Kumbh Mela are rooted in Hindu mythology. According to the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean) story in the ancient Hindu scriptures, the gods (Devas) and demons (Asuras) fought over the Amrit (nectar of immortality). During this celestial battle, drops of the nectar fell at four locations-Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik-where the Kumbh Mela is now held, with the Maha Kumbh occurring once every 144 years at Prayagraj. It holds immense religious, cultural, and historical importance.

The three stamps released in the souvenir sheet are inspired from the verse:

The commemorative postage stamps, designed by Sankha Samanta, beautifully depict three prominent aspects of Triveni tirtha- Maharshi Bharadwaj Ashram, Snan and Akshayvat.

The Maharshi Bharadwaj Ashram was a renowned educational centre during Rishi Bharadwaj's Time. It is mentioned in Ramayana as well, when Ram, Mata Sita and Laxman visited the Ashram during their Vanvas period. In the second stamp Snan, the significance of taking the holy dip in the Triveni Sangam is showcased. Millions of pilgrims take a dip in the Triveni, believing their sins will be washed away and they will attain Moksha. The third stamp, Akshayvat, is the immortal Banyan tree under which Ram, Mata Sita, and Laxman are believed to have rested during their Vanvas. According to ancient scriptures, the Akshyvat remains steadfast even during pralay (cosmic dissolution).
