The Bengaluru postal department has released a collection of postcards featuring the Mysuru royal family. The collection was launched at Beaulieu on Palace Road, the former residence of Princess Jayalakshammanni, who was the sister of Nalvadi Krishna Raja Wadiyar. The event took place on June 4.
This initiative aims to celebrate the rich heritage of the Wadiyar dynasty, which has a significant historical presence in Karnataka. The postcards showcase various members of the royal family, including iconic figures and moments from their legacy.
Postal officials expressed enthusiasm about the project, highlighting how it combines philately with local history. The collection is expected to appeal to stamp collectors, history enthusiasts, and the general public interested in the cultural heritage of Mysuru.
The launch event saw participation from local dignitaries and members of the public. The postcards are now available for purchase at select post offices in Bengaluru and Mysuru.
