This time they spelled it correctly in dEvanagari script.
Rs.50 stamp---for mass usage?
Come to think of it, how many in the masses have even heard of Rukmini Devi Arundale?

Thank you for these finds, Sri P. Bala - Rukmini Arundale almost looks like a portrait.

In the above blog Sriram V mentions about the recent release, but he has mentioned T Viswanathan,
was there one released on his name as well?

No postage stamp has so far been issued for T. Viswanathan (Vocalist & Flutist).

His grandmother (Veenai Dhanammal) and his sister (T. Balasaraswati) have been honoured by the Postal Department.
