Nepal 1907 Pashupati Temple Issue

Nepal · 1907 · 2p, 4p, 8p, 16p

This definitive set 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 ornate patterns and includes inscriptions in Devanagari script. The set was issued in four denominations, each with a distinct color: 2 paisa orange, 4 paisa green, 8 paisa violet, and 16 paisa blue.

Issued during the Rana dynasty's rule in Nepal, these stamps were among the first to be printed locally in Kathmandu at the Pashupati Press, marking a key step in the development of the country's postal system.
