Harkara Mail - carried by Postal runner , India





This mail cover is based on the enactment of Harkara mail, which was followed in India during the early 18th and 19th Century. The 'harkara' runners were fearless people armed with a sword or a spear , and used to carry the posts or dak from one place to the another.
The enactment happened in Jampex 2005 and is signed by the harkara runner.

Total of only 100 covers had been carried in this event. So it is a bit rarer than the other harkara runner covers from India
