Prayagraj: Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the Sangam Philatelic Club has decided to issue a special postal cover dedicated to ‘Ram lalla’ and release it around Dussehra.
Sangam Philatelic Club secretary M Gulrej said that the club had earlier planned to issue two special covers based on the bhoomi poojan and the Ram temple.
“However, special postal covers based on both the themes were released during the bhoomi poojan in Ayodhya on August 5. The club then decided to release a cover on Ram lalla. A photograph of the ancient idol of Ram lalla would feature on the postal cover,” Gulrej said.
Two years ago, a special postal cover was released by Ram Sangam on behalf of the Sangam Philatelic Club. The cover was based on the conversation between Lord Ram and Kewat from Ramayana.
The club had also released a special postal cover around 10 days ago as a tribute to coronavirus warriors.
