This delightful set of coloured stamps depict
the famous Ritu Rang miniature
paintings. Ritu means "season" in different calendars around the South Asian
countries of India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, and there are six ritus(also transliterated rutu) or seasons. The word is derived
from the Vedic Sanskrit word Ṛtú, a fixed or appointed time, especially the proper time
for sacrifice (yajna) or ritual in Vedic religion; this in turn comes from the word Ṛta (ऋत), as used in Vedic
Sanskrit literally means the "order or course of
things". This word is used in nearly all Indian languages.
The stamps featured on the FDC depict miniature paintings of the four seasons in all their colour and
gaiety.-
