Postcards Commemorate Tagore's Death Anniversary with 'Rain and Tagore'
The Department of Post made special picture postcards to remember Rabindranath Tagore on the day he died.
The postcards have pictures and words about 'Rain and Tagore,' because Tagore loved the rainy season.
The idea is to get people interested in writing letters again, especially the young people.
The postcards show some of Tagore's famous songs in Bengali, and one is even translated into English.
They picked the monsoon theme because Tagore wrote more songs about the rain than any other season.
The postcards are sold at the General Post Office for ₹80.
Department of Post released picture postcards on Rabindranath Tagore's death anniversary.
The postcards feature the theme 'Rain and Tagore,' including Bengali lyrics and an English translation of a Tagore song.
The release is part of the 'Forever in Letters' campaign to promote handwritten communication and philately.
Monsoon was chosen as the theme because Tagore was most inspired by the rains.
The postcards are priced at ₹80 and are available at the GPO's philately counter.
