In 1972, India issued a set of commemorative postage stamps for the Third Asian International Trade Fair (Asia ’72) held in New Delhi.
- Design: The set includes a ₹1.45 stamp depicting a 9th-century sculpture of the Hand of Buddha in ‘Abhaya Mudra’ from the Patna Museum. The ‘Abhaya Mudra’ (gesture of fearlessness) symbolizes protection, peace, and the dispelling of fear.
- Release Date: November 3, 1972.
- Symbolism: The stylized Hand of Buddha was chosen as the official symbol for the fair to signify freedom from fear and blessings for humanity. A companion 20-paise stamp features the stylized Asia ’72 logo.
These stamps are available in various formats, including single stamps, blocks of 4, and full mint sheets.
