Greetings to All
The modern day greeting card crystalised in 1843 when the first X-mas card with season's greetings was designed in U.K. The commercial production of greeting cards became fully established by 1860's. Though there are several means of conveying greetings, the post remains the most popular and predominant mode of transmission. In India, too, the practice of sending greetings by way of illustrated messages by post was perhaps started by the British. It has become now an established feature as in most other countries. We send greetings on occasions like Birthdays, Wedding Anniversaries and other happy occasions besides Deepawali, Pongal, Durga Puja, Baisakhi, Bihu, Christmas, Id and other regional festivals.
To strengthen the spirit of such greetings and make the medium of transmission more communicative, the DOP brought out a set of two stamps on the theme of greetings.
