Released as part of the historic first independence set on 21 November 1947, this stamp marks the moment a sovereign India publicly declared its identity to the world through the most universal of mediums: the postage stamp.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Tricolour, with its bands of saffron, white, and green and the Ashoka Chakra at the centre, was newly adopted as the national flag just months before this stamp's issue. Featuring it on a postal stamp transformed every letter and parcel into a small act of national pride, carrying the symbolism of independence into ordinary correspondence across the country and abroad.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 3½ Anna denomination was commonly used for international airmail, meaning this stamp also became one of the earliest emissaries of independent India to the world, a quiet, paper-thin announcement of arrival on the global stage.\u003cbr\u003e\nEncased in an Anka handcrafted wooden watch, this foundational stamp is elevated into a wearable tribute to India's independence. The natural warmth of oak wood honours the stamp's historic weight, creating a timepiece that wears the country's first breath of freedom on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eUSP : A founding stamp of independent India, featuring the Tricolour as a wearable emblem of nationhood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anka Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62883417260403,"sku":"ANKA-S-1947IND-3.5A-M-TRI-216","price":45000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/7941\/7715\/files\/DSC00176_natural.jpg?v=1779797636","url":"https:\/\/anka.watch\/products\/independence-set-1-stamp-national-flag-3-12-anna-1947-216","provider":"Anka Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
