Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked a significant moment on Thursday as he unveiled commemorative postage stamps dedicated to the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Additionally, a book of stamps highlighting Lord Ram's global presence was also released during the event.

Design Elements of Stamps Capturing Essence

Officials revealed that the stamp's design encompasses key elements such as the Ram temple, the spiritual chaupai 'Mangal Bhavan Amangal Hari,' the Sun, the holy Saryu river, and various sculptures in and around the temple. The release includes a set of six stamps featuring the Ram temple, Lord Ganesh, Lord Hanuman, Jatayu, Kevatraj, and Ma Shabri.

International Perspective on Lord Ram

The accompanying stamp book aims to showcase the international resonance of Lord Ram. Spanning 48 pages, the book covers stamps issued by over 20 countries, including the United States, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada, Cambodia, and organizations like the United Nations.

Artistic Flourish and Elemental Harmony

Officials noted the artistic touch, with a gold leaf of sun rays and 'chaupai' contributing to the majestic iconography of the miniature sheet. The design also reflects the five physical elements—sky, air, fire, earth, and water—through various elements, establishing perfect harmony essential for all manifestations.

The release of these commemorative stamps and the accompanying book serves not only as a celebration of the cultural and religious significance of the Ram temple but also highlights its global impact and resonance.
