India · 1970 · 20p
This stamp was issued to commemorate the India National Philatelic Exhibition (INPEX) held in 1970. The design features a child's drawing of a house, sun, and tree, celebrating Children's Day which coincides with the exhibition. It is a 'stamp-on-stamp' design, as the child's drawing is framed within the outline of a postage stamp.
Issued during a period of growing interest in philately within India, this stamp promoted the hobby to a younger generation by linking the national exhibition with the popular celebration of Children's Day.
