Postage Stamps of Indian Princely States-Kishangarh
The illustration below shows some early postage stamps from Kishangarh (on the stamp spelt Kishengarh ). The design shows the Kishangarh State emblems. the stamps were issued without perforations. Two of the stamps show an interesting variation in that the K of Kishengarh has lost the lower part of the K. One shows a remnant of the stamp above it as they were issued as "tete beche" pairs ( head to tail ). Two are overprinted for official use. The values are a quarter anna for the rose/pink and half anna for the blue.
