Brand: Nepal

Nepal · 1935 · Mixed Franking (1/2a, 1a, 2a)

This is a registered postal cover from Nepal, featuring a mixed franking of three different definitive stamps. The stamps depict the Pashupatinath Temple, a sacred Hindu site, and bear the portrait of King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram. The cover is addressed to Calcutta, India, and is notable for its clear postmarks and intact wax seals.

Issued during the reign of King Tribhuvan, this cover represents the postal system of the Kingdom of Nepal in the 1930s, a period of relative isolation before major political changes in the mid-20th century.
