Khadi Scarf

Originated from India, khadi is an eco-friendly clothing material most beloved for its beautiful texture and versatility throughout the seasons. It can be spun into life from cotton, silk, jute or wool. It is also one of the most important symbols of India’s freedom struggle. In fact, its name was coined by Mahatma Gandhi himself.

The rural artisans of India, comprising 70% women, handspin and hand-weave these intricate threads into the ultimate fashion statements adorned across the globe. From its beginnings on the spinning wheel during India’s independence movement to today being a marker of high quality and luxury, khadi has been epitomizing sustainable fashion for decades.

Coin Box

To commemorate India's G20 Presidency, the Prime Minister of India released special G20 postage stamps and coins on 26 July 2023. The G20 India Stamps and Coins were released during the inauguration of Bharat Mandapam at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.

The designs of both the coins and stamps draw inspiration from India's G20 Logo and theme of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' or 'One Earth. One Family. One Future'. The two Postage Stamps of denomination 20 each, celebrate India's G20 Presidency period from 1 December 2022-30 November 2023. The first G20 Commemorative Postage Stamp demonstrates togetherness and the collective will of G20 members to achieve inclusive, decisive and action-oriented outcomes under India's Presidency.

The second G20 Commemorative Stamp, rendered in gold colour, represents India's diversity, inclusiveness and rich cultural heritage. It takes inspiration from the lotus, the national flower of India, as represented in India's G20 Presidency Logo. Also marking this milestone of India's G20 Presidency, two G20 Commemorative Coins of denominations 75 and 100 were released by the Prime Minister.

The denominations of these coins signify the completion of 75 years of India's Independence, and the beginning of 'AmritKaal', India's journey towards 100 years of its freedom. The designs of the G20 commemorative coins are stylised renditions of India's G20 logo and theme with each coin made of a quaternary alloy of silver, nickel, zinc & copper.
