Krishnapuram Palace

The Travancore kingdom had an independent postal or Anchal System with a mail transport service including a boat mail service and the Railway Anchal Service.
The Anchal (post) service was started in Travancore from 1800s itself.
The first adhesive Anchel Stamp was introduced on 16-10-1888

Interesting...
Our Indian friends seem to have an aesthetic angle rather concentrate on scenes with (more) human elements in it...
Is is because India is very crowded?
I know some parts in China so crowded it seemed to me people living their only interested in things 10 feet away from them (an exaggeration).
