Surya Namaskar in Postage Stamps as part of International Yoga Day

Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is a huge Yoga fanatic. And two years ago at the UN General Assembly, he declared the 21st of June, i.e. the longest day in the year, as International Yoga Day.

And this year, in commemoration of the second iteration of International Yoga Day, the PM has released a set of postage stamps, based on the Surya Namaskar.


The twelve stamps feature all the twelve Asanas that make up the Surya Namaskar.

Among the twelve, six stamps have a value of five rupees, and the other six are valued at twenty-five rupees.


This marks the kicking off of a worldwide celebration of Yoga as a way of life beyond just exercise.
