Sale number: S25018&nbsp;The stamps of Duttia, among the rarest of the Indian States, are instantly recognisable for their iconic design depicting the elephant-headed god Ganesh.

This auction showcases one of the finest Duttia collections formed in recent decades, assembled over more than 40 years and including major rarities, unrecorded items, and exceptional blocks and sheets. Alongside Duttia, the collection also features material from Jaipur, Soruth, Bundi, and Hyderabad.
