The London Olympics stamps from this year were issued in a similar form, here's the 15 rupee value,
and the whole set:
The 20 rupee Aquarius stamp is part of a series of twelve zodiac signs from 2007:
and Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, was celebrated in 2011 as well (here in connection with Sri Lanka):
Thanks a lot, Gayanth! Also for the used stamps and the postcards!
