Nepal Pashupati Temple Postage Stamp

Nepal · 1907 · 1 Anna

This stamp features a detailed depiction of the sacred Pashupati Temple, a significant Hindu temple complex located on the banks of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu. The design is framed by traditional Nepalese architectural elements and includes inscriptions in Devanagari script. It is part of a definitive series that was in use for several decades.

Issued during the Rana dynasty's rule in the Kingdom of Nepal, this stamp represents one of the country's earliest series to feature local cultural and religious landmarks, moving away from purely symbolic or royal imagery.
