on Kanakadasa
The Department of Posts
issued a stamp on Kanakadasa on 26 December 1990. It is in the denomination of
loo (Re. 1), perf. 13 x 13, and was printed by photogravure process on unwater-marked
PG coated gummed stamp paper by photogravure process at India Security Press.
It depicts Kanakadasa (holding the chipla and tambura in his hands) in the
foreground, with the Udupi Sree Krishna Temple in the background.
A First Day Cover with
the First Day cancellation was also issued on the same date. There is a picture
of a mandapam on the First Day Cover, but the leaflet issued by the Dept. of
Posts gives no details about it. The First Day cancellation has an ornamental
illustration of a chipla.
