Date of issue: October 2nd , 2018The stamp art features iconic elements from India and Brazil that represent diversity and, at the same time, the similarity between the two countries. In architecture, the presentation of the Taj Mahal, India's best-known monument, stands in opposition to the simple but noble lines of the Cathedral of Brasilia, a national landmark. Next to these images are the characteristic animals of the two countries: the Indian tiger and the Brazilian macaw. At the center, flora gifts received from each country. Mango and jackfruit, so popular in our backyards, came from India. And the cashew, originated from northeastern of Brazil, taken to the Indian subcontinent, has become an important economic product for that country. The stamp are bordered in the national colors of India, saffron, white and dark green, and, on the Brazilian side, the traditional, yellow, blue and green.
