A stamp issued to commemorate Reliance founder Dhirubhai Ambani (Dhiru Bhai H Ambani) was voted the "most popular stamp" for 2002 in a nation-wide stamp popularity poll conducted by the Indian postal department.
The Ambani stamp received 13,798 votes, a company statement said. The "Kathakali and Kabuki" stamp — one of the stamps from the set of Indo-Japan diplomatic relations — was ranked the second-most popular stamp.
Twenty-one stamps were issued under the personalities theme in 2002 in memory of eminent achievers in different fields.
The philately division of the postal department conducts a poll every year to gather feedback on the preferences of the public with reference to the themes and designs of Indian postage stamps.
