Bhubaneswar, India

Stamps on the front and back of this cover from the city of Bhubaneswar in the Indian state of Odisha. The 2023 stamp on the left commemorates the first Tuluvan Queen of Ullal and first female freedom fighter of India, Rani Abbakka Devi, who fought off a Portuguese occupation during the 16th century. And the 2024 stamp on the right commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Bombay Sappers War Memorial in the city of Pune in Maharashtra.


And on the back is a 2008 souvenir sheet. A joint issue with China with stamps showing the Mahabodhi temple in Bodh Gaya and the White Horse temple in Luoyang, China.
