Himachal Pradesh Full Statehood Day



Parliament on December 18, 1970, had passed the State of Himachal Pradesh Act and the new state came into being on January 25, 1971. Thus, Himachal Pradesh emerged as the 18th state of India.

Himachal Pradesh celebrated the Golden Jubilee of its Statehood on January 25, 2021. On the occasion, India Post released a commemorative postage stamp.

Himachal Pradesh is a northern Indian state in the Himalayas. It is home to scenic mountain towns and resorts such as Dalhousie. Host to the Dalai Lama, Himachal Pradesh has a strong Tibetan presence. This is reflected in its Buddhist temples and monasteries, as well as its vibrant Tibetan New Year celebrations. The region is also known for its trekking, climbing and skiing areas.
