An Invitation to Media and all Eligible Diwali Stamp Buyers

The goodness, the purity, the beauty of Diwali diya were so beautifully woven together with lustrous colors in the Diwali Stamp USPS unveiled, October 5, in the presence of exultant Indian American community, politicians, lawmakers, officials, media and the USPS staff at the Indian Consulate in New York. The gorgeous stamp is the result of the imagination and artistic touch of a triumvirate. The diya was photographed by Sally Anderson Bruce of New Milford, CT. The stamp was designed by Greg Breeding of Charlottesville, VA. And William J. Gicker of Washington DC was the Art Director of the Project Diwali Stamp.
